Lake Delton Transfer Station in Baraboo sits at S2439 County Road BD and is the small local place people use to drop off residential-size loads instead of driving out to a distant landfill. Short-haul residents and folks cleaning out garages tend to swing by because the site compacts trash and trucks it elsewhere.
Pull in from County Road BD and there’s a scale area and an entrance booth where vehicles line up; expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out for weighing. After weighing, drivers move to a concrete tipping area where haulers load and large trucks come and go-this is a working lot with heavy equipment around. The yard is compact compared with a landfill lot: a few bays or a single tipping pad, high concrete walls, and big trucks maneuvering. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busier, so lines and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp or straps so nothing blows or spills while on the road or on the scale.
- Try to go during a weekday morning if possible; weekend afternoons often have the longest lines.
- Have someone ready to help unload and be comfortable backing up-space can be tight and quick maneuvering helps keep the line moving.
