City of Ozark Transfer Station

Small, no-frills transfer station serving Ozark residents who need to drop off household loads without driving to a distant landfill. Locals bring anything from bagged trash to small trailer loads; it’s the practical option for town-sized cleanups. The site feels like a working yard more than a public park.

Drive in off Airport Road and follow the paved lane toward a small entrance area with a booth and vehicle flow controls; there’s usually a place to line up if it’s busy. Many transfer stations compact loads into roll-off containers or pits that are then hauled out to a landfill, so expect to back up to an unloading spot and dump into a large container or pit rather than seeing a landfill face. The ground is gravel or asphalt, with heavy equipment and trucks moving around-watch your step and keep a safe distance. Recycling or drop-off bins are often positioned to one side of the main unloading area, so scanning the site before backing up saves time.
