Davis Street Transfer Station

Davis Street Transfer Station is the local transfer station in San Leandro where neighborhood residents drop off household trash and smaller loads that get compacted and trucked out to a landfill. People use it when hauling stuff that’s easier to bring here than to a distant landfill. The site sits on Davis Street near industrial areas, so expect a working-yard look rather than a park-like facility.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-in area where vehicles line up; larger trucks and transfer trailers come and go, so the place can feel busy. Vehicles usually pull up to a scale and then to a tipping floor or compacting area, with large concrete walls and metal containers around the yard. Separate piles or containers for recyclables and organics are common in California facilities, so having materials pre-sorted helps speed things along. Weekend and spring-cleanup traffic often creates backups, while weekdays tend to move faster.
