S & K Transfer Station

S & K Transfer Station is the small transfer station off Claycraft Road that locals in Reynoldsburg and Columbus use when a landfill is too far. It handles residential drop-offs where loads are compacted and then trucked out to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors swing by with yard waste, renovation debris, or a pile from the garage when a regular trash day won't cut it.

Drive up the driveway and there’s a gatehouse/booth you’ll stop at before getting onto the site; expect to pull up and wait your turn to enter. The site is mostly concrete and big bays with compactors and open pits where trucks unload; it has that industrial smell and the sound of compaction. Vehicles often back up to specific spots to dump, then drive across a scale on the way out so loads can be measured. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so there can be a line to get in and some maneuvering among other trucks.
