Town of Wheatland Transfer Station

A small transfer station used by Town of Wheatland and Burlington-area residents, where local trash is compacted and loaded onto larger trucks for transport out of county. Neighbors drop off household refuse and recyclables here instead of driving to a distant landfill. The place is practical and down-to-earth - mostly for residents hauling a typical load from garages, attics, or yard cleanups.

Drive up to a single entrance road that leads to a small check-in booth and a scale; vehicles often stop twice - once going in and once coming out. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, metal containers, and a handful of roll-off bins with a compacting area beyond. Recycling and drop-off points are usually grouped to one side while the compacting/loading area takes up the back, so plan to pull forward a bit to unload. Winter months can change the flow, with snow piles and narrowed lanes making maneuvering slower.
