Jackson Transfer Station & Recycling Center
3685 Division Rd, Jackson, WI 53037
Jackson Transfer Station & Recycling Center in Jackson, WI is the kind of place neighbors use when the curbside bin won't cut it. People bring everything from bags of cans to bulk items that need dropping off at a county-run recycling spot. It’s a practical stop for anyone trying to keep stuff out of the landfill.
Pull into 3685 Division Rd and there’s usually a booth or scale near the entrance where traffic is organized; many local facilities weigh loads and charge accordingly, so expect to stop twice if that’s the case. The recycling bins and drop-off areas are typically grouped-paper and cardboard, containers, and larger drop-off bays for bulky items are easy to spot as you drive in. The site is outdoor with a few sheltered bays and concrete pads; sites in Wisconsin can change winter procedures, so layouts may shift a bit when snow piles up. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines can form leading up to the scales and the attendant area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items sorted as much as possible-cardboard flattened, containers loose-so unloading goes faster and line time is reduced.
- Arrive midweek or early in the morning to avoid the long weekend lines that pile up during spring cleanouts.
- Have a plan for bulky or hazardous items since county centers often handle special programs; set those aside so they don’t slow down unloading at the regular recycling bays.
