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.

The Recycling Center is open the same hours as the transfer station. The Recycling Center will close at noon on July

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. Click here for a complete price list.

Please wash out and remove all lids, caps and stoppers. No
window glass, light bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, drinking
