Transfer Station
Rumpke Transfer Station Entrance
3501 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights, OH 44105
(216) 429-2229Rumpke Transfer Station Entrance in Newburgh Heights is where local trash gets dropped off, compacted, and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors and small haulers use it when hauling household junk or yard debris and don't want to drive out to a distant dump.
The site is an industrial lot with a small entrance booth and lanes for trucks and pickups; pull up to the booth first and be prepared to stop. There’s usually a scale you’ll cross, so expect to stop again on the way out since charges are typically by weight. Large transfer trailers and front-load trucks are common, and the area feels loud and busy during peak times. Pay attention to how traffic is flowing in the lot-there are tight turns and backing maneuvers, so give big vehicles plenty of room.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and tarp loads so nothing flies out during handling or while waiting in line.
- Avoid weekend mornings or spring cleanup days if possible-those are when lines get long and backing becomes awkward.
- Bring a vehicle that can safely back and angle into loading areas; know how to position a trailer or pickup bed for quick dumping.
