Wright Refuse Transfer Station

Wright Refuse Transfer Station on S Metcalf in Lima is where local household and small commercial loads get dropped off to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Folks use it when they want something closer than driving all the way out to a distant dump. It’s a working yard with trucks and heavy equipment moving around, not a tidy public park.

You’ll cross a scale on the way in - many transfer stations charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. An entrance booth sits near the driveway; pull up there before heading into the tipping area. The unloading zone is open and noisy, with compactors and large trucks operating, so move slowly and watch for equipment. Containers or bays for different materials are usually grouped to one side, so keep loads reasonably sorted for quicker unloading.
