Transfer Station

Transfer Station Construction

The Alleghany County Transfer Station is where citizens bring household garbage and recyclables.  Alleghany County Solid Waste stickers must be displayed for all vehicles depositing household waste.  These stickers are included in the yearly County tax bills.  If a sticker is lost, or if you need additional stickers, they can be obtained in the Alleghany County Tax Office located at
348 S Main St, Sparta. 

Transfer Station Hours:
Monday 7a-5p
Tuesday 7a-5p
Wednesday 7a-5p
Thursday 10a-7p
Friday 7a-5p
Saturday 8a-12p (Residential trash only)

Recycle!

Paper, paper containers, and any type of plastic bottle or container and caps that displays the recycling symbol can be placed in our co-mingle compactor.  Please rinse all containers prior to bringing to the recycling center drop off.

Aluminum cans, containers, and lids are gathered in bins.  Aluminum can produce a small revenue stream for the Transfer Facility.  Please rinse all cans and containers prior to placing them in the appropriate bin. 

Steel cans, containers, and lids are gathered in bins.  Steel can also produce a small revenue stream for the Transfer Facility.  Please rinse all cans and containers prior to placing them in the appropriate bin. 

Commercial cardboard is collected separately and bundled for reuse.

Glass is collected separately to be crushed to remove from our garbage waste stream and “lighten the loads” being transported from Alleghany County.  We are currently working on options for reuse.  Please rinse all containers before placing them in the appropriate bins. 

Five tires per vehicle can be disposed at the Transfer Station for free.

Electronics are collected separately for recycling and reuse purposes. 

All recycling efforts contributes to the overall operations of the Alleghany County Transfer Station and makes our beautiful mountain county a greener place to live.  Thank you and Happy Recycling!
