Transfer Station

Blue Line Transfer Inc

500 E Jamie Ct, South San Francisco, CA 94080

(650) 589-5511

Blue Line Transfer Inc is the transfer station on E Jamie Court that locals use when the landfill is too far or the curbside pickup won't take something. Trucks compact loads here and then haul them offsite, and homeowners and small contractors swing by with pickups and small trailers. It’s the kind of place people go when hauling a carload or doing a yard clean-up.

Pull up to an entrance booth and wait to be directed; there’s usually a paved drive and a visible scale ramp nearby. The yard is industrial-looking with big bays and compacting equipment, and recycling containers are typically clustered to one side rather than scattered around. Drivers are often asked to sort materials before dumping, since California has strict separation rules for recyclables and organics. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of queuing if it’s busy.

Before You Go

  • Keep recyclables and organics separated from trash as much as possible-many places in California require that and it speeds things up.
  • Bring sturdy gloves and a tarp for loose loads; it makes unloading faster and keeps stuff from blowing around in the yard.
  • If hauling a trailer or pickup, position the vehicle so backing to the bay is simple-observe how the trucks are parked and follow that flow to avoid redoing maneuvers.
