Transfer Station
Blue Hills Environmental Vernon Transfer Station
County Rd 3137, Vernon, AZ 85940
Blue Hills Environmental Vernon Transfer Station is the small transfer site on County Rd 3137 in Vernon where locals drop off residential loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it when the nearest landfill is too far for a quick run. It's a practical stop for getting rid of bulky household trash without driving hours each way.
The site looks utilitarian - think concrete pads, large containers or compactors, and a lane to pull up and unload. There is typically a booth or check-in point near the entrance and a place to pull up with the truck bed facing a drop-off area. Many transfer stations handle weight-based charges, so there may be a scale to cross as part of the process. Busy times include weekends and spring cleanup, when a short wait is likely.
