Yavapai Co Transfer Station

Small county transfer station out on Antelope Creek Road, used mostly by Mayer and nearby ranch residents hauling household junk, yard debris and construction scraps. The place compacts loads and sends them off to a larger landfill, so it’s handy when driving all the way to a regional dump isn’t worth the trip. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than anything shiny or landscaped.

Drive in to a single-lane entrance with a little booth where you stop and get directed; there’s usually a scale you cross so vehicles get weighed. Pull up to the tipping area where compactors and roll-off bays sit on a concrete pad-you’ll see trucks lined up to be loaded and hauled out. It’s dusty in dry months and can be windy, so loose debris and dirt are common on the road and around the piles. Weekends, especially spring cleanup times, tend to get backed up and someone will wave you where to drop off.
