A transfer station just off Duss Ave. that locals use to drop off household and yard stuff before it gets compacted and hauled out to a landfill. People from Ambridge and nearby towns swing by when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical, especially for smaller loads or projects.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll usually have to stop and tell them what’s in the truck or trailer. There’s a scale and traffic flow for larger commercial trucks, so passenger vehicles should follow the signs and pull into the lined-up area. Loads get compacted on site and then put onto larger trucks, so expect to see heavy equipment and covered piles. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, with a line of vehicles waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials sorted and secured before pulling up so unloading goes quicker and nothing blows out during the wait.
- Watch for big trucks and loaders moving around; give them plenty of space and follow any traffic directions from the booth area.
- Bring the right vehicle setup-secure tarps for loose debris and a trailer that’s safe for local roads-to avoid delays while they check the load.
