Waste Management - Ashland Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station used by Ashland residents who need a quicker drop-off than driving to a distant landfill. Located in the industrial park, it handles compacting and loading of local trash for transport elsewhere. Folks bring everything from household junk to yard debris when clearing out a garage or moving.

Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for a scale-charges are typically by weight so there’s usually a stop on the way in or out. The site is industrial-looking: concrete bays, compactors, and large roll-off containers, with recycling bins set off to the side. Trucks and equipment move around, so stick to the posted traffic flow and watch for backing vehicles. Winter can change how things are done, so expect snow-cleared lanes and possible adjustments to the flow or access.
