1604 Riverside Dr, Sidney, OH 45365

Get Directions

Shelby County Transfer Station in Sidney is the local spot where household and commercial trash gets compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. People from around the county swing by when hauling a pickup load or cleaning out a garage because it's closer than driving to a distant landfill.

Drive up Riverside Drive and you'll see a small entrance booth and a pen of traffic leading into the site. Expect to pull onto a scale and then be directed to a drop-off area where larger compactors and collection pits are visible. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, big metal containers, and commercial trucks coming and going - and it moves a lot faster than taking everything to a landfill yourself. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get backed up, so there may be a line of vehicles waiting to get in.

Before You Go

  • Sort items at home as much as possible so unloading goes quicker; separating recyclables and bulky items speeds everything up.
  • Have cargo covered and secured for the drive in; loose material tends to blow out when trucks are moving around.
  • Keep receipts or weight tickets handy until the trip home - transfer stations often use weight-based charges, so those papers are useful if questions come up.
