When planning your visit, keep in mind the Transfer Station, which hauls trash to the landfill near Wagon Mound, is for the use of residents within the city limits only. But residency is not a requirement for dropping off recyclables. Please use the lower entrance and stop at the Administrative Office (small building) before proceeding through; they will come out to your vehicle to check you in and direct you where to drop off.
