A neighborhood transfer station where Yankton residents and local haulers drop off household and yard refuse that gets compacted and hauled to a regional landfill. Small trucks and pickups use it more than big roll-offs, so it’s handy for people who don’t want to drive all the way out to a distant landfill. The site feels industrial but serves local cleanup needs.
There’s an entrance booth and a place to pull up, with a scale that typically gets used so expect to stop twice - once in and once out. The tipping area is open and concrete, with large compacting equipment and occasional semi trucks lining up to take loads away. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so mornings can move faster. It’s gritty and practical: bring a tarp for loose stuff and be ready to sort bulky items in the truck for quicker unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose trash and tarps before getting in line so wind doesn’t scatter a load while waiting.
- Have the truck bed or trailer organized so refuse can be pushed or lifted out quickly-fewer trips to the edge saves time.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; early weekday mornings or right when they open tend to be less crowded.
