About This Location

The City of Valley City Transfer Station, at 11476 35th St SE in Barnes County, is a publicly operated solid-waste facility run by Valley City Public Works. It takes household garbage (hauled to the Fargo landfill), inert construction material such as wood and drywall, tires at posted per-tire fees, and used motor oil free of charge for city residents. Shingles are accepted only without tar paper and only with a certificate showing they are asbestos-free — any material containing asbestos is refused outright. Curbside-type recyclables such as aluminum and tin cans, plastics #1 and #2, paper, cardboard, and glass are not handled here; the City directs those to Valley Recycling at 115 12th Avenue SE. Televisions are no longer accepted for routine disposal and must go to the Fargo Household Hazardous Waste site. Cash, check, and credit cards are accepted.
