Clarion County Transfer Station

A small county transfer station for residents of Shippenville and surrounding areas, where household trash is dropped off to be compacted and hauled to a larger landfill. Locals use it when hauling loads that would be a hassle to take to a distant landfill themselves.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale to stop at, so be prepared to slow down and wait your turn. Drive up to the drop-off area where dumpsters or compacting equipment are visible from the road; the site looks like a working yard with trucks and piles of material. Traffic can back up at busy times, especially weekends and seasonal cleanups, so expect short lines. After weighing in, follow the attendants’ directions or posted signs to where vehicles unload and then back over the scale on the way out.
