Using the Transfer Station
When you turn off Table Rock Road, follow the blue arrows to the Pay Station. From there, the blue arrows will lead you to the Transfer Station building.

Once you’re inside the building, you will be directed to back your vehicle into one of many slots. Then empty your materials onto the floor, hop back in your vehicle and away you go. It’s that easy.

What not to bring to the Transfer Station

The Transfer Station cannot accept hazardous waste, asbestos, medical waste, automobiles, contaminated soil, dead animals or any type of liquids. If you’re not sure about something you need to dispose of, give us a call at 779-4161 before you make the trip. Rogue Disposal & Recycling holds an annual hazardous waste drop-off event each spring. Information on this event will be mailed to all Rogue Disposal & Recycling customers ahead of time. Also, be sure and look for information announcing this event in your bill, in the local paper and on Rogue Disposal & Recycling trucks.

Special needs
Customers with 10 yards or more of construction/demolition or other special waste (such as asbestos, contaminated soil, etc.) may be directed to the Dry Creek Landfill. The landfill manager will decide this on a case by case basis and arrangements must be made in advance. Most commercial customers (as well as all residential customers) will use the Transfer Station.

How to use the Recycling Center
When you turn off Table Rock Road, follow the green arrows to the Recycling Center. Once there, you will see clearly marked areas for each type of recyclable material.

Recycling Center hours
The Recycling Center is open the same hours as the transfer station. The Recycling Center will close at noon on July 4th, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The Recycling Center will be closed all day on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Fluorescent Tubes
The law requires fluorescent tubes from businesses be recycled and not thrown in the trash. Residential customers have been exempt, but beginning May 7, 2009, Rogue has decided that all fluorescent tubes from both business and residential customers be recycled. Why? Mercury containing tubes, once broken can release possible hazardous materials and we do not want to expose our employees or customers. A normal straight tube costs .25 cents per foot to recycle.
