Selma Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Highway 41 South in Selma, used mostly by residents and small haulers who don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. The site compacts loads and ships them out, so it's more of a drop-and-go setup than a place where material stays long-term.
Pull in off Highway 41 and you’ll see an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles stop briefly. Vehicles are directed to drive up, unload onto a concrete tipping pad or into roll-off containers, and then exit back over the scale so loads can be weighed. The yard is industrial-looking - big compacting equipment, transfer trailers, and piles of material in fenced sections. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so expect lines then and a steady stream of trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and cover loads; flying debris is common with open pickups and trucks.
- Have trash separated as much as possible before pulling up to the tipping area to speed unloading.
- Try to avoid mid-morning weekends if looking for a shorter wait; peak times usually mean a line at the entrance booth and scale.
