UPDATE: The transfer station is back open and operating as usual Thursday.

Hood River Transfer Station is closed due to an equipment accident. A piece of company-owned equipment struck a support beam at the station, District Manager Jim Winterbottom said. The station will remain closed today while an engineer assesses the site. A reopening time isn’t determined. For drive-up trash and recycling, customers are re-directed to The Dalles: North Wasco County Transfer Station. The Dalles Disposal Service, 1317 W. First Street. Curbside service for the Hood River area may be slightly delayed due to the added trip of route trucks.
