Small transfer station in Algona where locals drop off household refuse and get it compacted and trucked out. People from nearby neighborhoods use it when they don't want to drive to a distant landfill. The address sits just off W Valley Hwy S, so it's easy to find from town.
Pull up to an entrance booth and tell them what you're bringing; transfer stations commonly have a checkpoint like that. There will usually be a scale you cross before leaving since most sites charge by weight. The yard is compact rather than sprawling - expect a few bays or containers and trucks moving around, so stay in your vehicle until it's your turn. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get backed up and lines can form at the scale.

Before You Go

- Load items so they can be quickly tossed out of the truck or bed - loose bags or items that can spill slow the line.
- Bring something to cover or secure loose trash for the short drive; wind and truck traffic can scatter lightweight stuff.
