McNairy County Transfer Station in Selmer (managed by Waste Connections) is where local household and small commercial loads get compacted and hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. People from around the county use it when hauling trash is easier than driving to a distant landfill. The site is a practical drop-off point for those who want to avoid a long trip out of town.
The site looks like a working industrial yard with big roll-off areas and compactors rather than a neat row of curbside bins. There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale to drive over, and trucks come and go loading compacted material into larger haulers. Drivers pull up to get directed where to unload, then move aside to the scale again in many cases since tons are commonly charged by weight. Expect noise from machinery and the occasional large truck; it’s not quiet or tidy like a recycling center.
