Crawford County Solid Waste is dedicated to embracing sustainable waste management solutions that are tailored to the communities we serve. As the areas designated transfer station, we play a vital role in promoting proper waste disposal for future generations.
Our key focuses on education, innovation, and community service empower residents to participate actively in waste reduction and recycling efforts. By providing resources and programs that inform the public about responsible waste practices and the importance of sustainability, we can help minimize our environmental impacts.
Through continuous research and improvements in innovative technologies, we continue to enhance our services while also operating within all local, state, and federal regulations.

Transfer stations serve a key role in the management of waste materials by serving as the vital link between waste collection and final disposal. Designed to efficiently manage the sorting and consolidation of waste, including recyclables, these facilities help to ensure that materials are processed in an environmentally responsible manner.
Since it’s not likely that all communities would have the space or resources to be able to support a landfill, transfer stations help by facilitating the movement of waste to appropriate disposal facilities, these stations help communities minimize their environmental impact while effectively managing their waste resources.
If you could get this loaded relatively quickly, we have a west central meeting that’s starting at 9 today and I’d like to give the other counties an idea of what their sights are going to say.
