Fresno Transfer Station

Fresno Transfer Station is a local transfer station in Fresno where household and small commercial loads are dropped off and compacted before being hauled elsewhere. Neighbors, landscapers, and folks clearing out garages use this place when driving all the way to a distant landfill doesn’t make sense.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop at the scale so loads can be weighed before and after unloading. After the booth, drive to the unloading bay or pits where large containers and compactors sit; the site looks industrial with concrete bays and heavy equipment. In California, many facilities ask for separation of recyclables and organics, so be prepared to sort or follow posted signs. Expect trucks and loaders moving around, and lines can form during weekends and seasonal cleanup times.
