Get Directions

Winchester Transfer and Recycling on County Hwy W is the small local recycling center people in Manitowish Waters use for household recycling and seasonal cleanups. Neighbors and cabin owners bring sorted loads of paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metal-the kinds of materials community centers typically handle. It feels like a county-run site rather than a commercial drop-off; expect a practical, working setup.

The site is compact with an entrance booth and a scale common at transfer stations, so pull up carefully and be ready to stop. Recycling containers and roll-off bins are grouped together a short walk from the drive area, with concrete or gravel pads for unloading. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are possible at peak times. Bring loads sorted and stacked to speed unloading.

Before You Go

  • Sort and flatten cardboard and bundle paper before getting out of the car - it makes the process faster and keeps things tidy.
  • Wear gloves and have a tarp or straps for bulky or loose items so nothing spills while unloading into bins or trailers.
  • Aim for weekday mornings or late afternoons to avoid weekend backups, and have proof of residency or vehicle info handy since some county sites check it.
