Clean, fast, convenient, and capable. This is the best way to describe our newly constructed Back Mountain transfer station. You'll find a clean environment, free of sharps that may pop tires. With multiple lanes for drop-off - it's easy in and easy out. We are conveniently located on the Tunkhannock highway, and capable of handling up to 125 tons of waste daily.
How it Works
Weigh In
When you first pull in you'll need to weigh your vehicle. Just pull onto the scale and when you see the green light, you can pull through.
Unload
Pull around to the transfer station and back up to the pit. Be sure the area is a clear and be mindful of barriers, chains, and paint markings.
Weigh Again
Once your are unloaded, pull back around to the scale. Once we give you the green light, park your vehicle and come on it to the office to pay by the pound.
Regular customers can get in and out even faster
Stop in and apply for payment terms. You don't even have to get out of your vehicle. Weigh in, unload, weight out and be on your weigh. We'll send you an itemized monthly bill.
