RDI Transfer Station is the small transfer point off Mill Creek Rd. in Pecks Mill used mostly by residents who don't want to drive all the way to a landfill. It compacts local loads and hauls them out to a larger landfill elsewhere.
Drive in to a gravel lot and pull up to a small entrance booth; many transfer stations have a scale nearby, so be ready to stop again if weight is recorded. After the booth, follow the lane to the concrete tipping areas with large roll-off containers and compactors - it’s a working, noisy place rather than a tidy recycling center. Trucks come and go, so watch for big rigs when backing up. Recycling bins, if present, are usually off to one side instead of mixed in with the trash.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Weekends, and especially spring cleanup times, get backed up-aim for a weekday morning if possible to avoid a line.
- Secure and cover loose loads so nothing blows out on the drive; gloves and sturdy shoes are handy because the ground is rough and dusty.
- If hauling a trailer or backing into a pit, have someone spot for you and keep an eye out for transfer trucks moving in and out.
