Young's Trash Service Transfer Station

920 E Jackson St, Van Wert, OH 45891

(419) 238-9200

Young's Trash Service Transfer Station is the small transfer station on E Jackson that locals use when a landfill drive isn't worth the trip. People drop off household loads and smaller contractor loads here; the trucks then compact and haul everything out to a landfill elsewhere. It's the kind of place that feels like a working yard rather than a public park.

Drive up to a little entrance booth and be prepared to stop - there’s usually a scale you roll over so loads can be weighed. The site has large concrete bays and open tipping areas where trucks and pickups back in; expect some clanking and diesel noise. Recycling bins, if present, tend to sit off to one side near the edge of the property, with larger roll-off containers and compacting equipment further in. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait to get to the drop-off point.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose material so nothing blows out on the drive; that keeps the pickup bed neater and staff safer.
  • Have vehicles empty and accessible before pulling into the booth - it speeds things up when it’s busy.
  • If hauling bulky items, use a low-profile pickup or trailer and be ready to back into a bay; tight turns and concrete walls make maneuvering slower than it looks.
