Small transfer station used by King City residents to drop off household trash and other loads that get compacted and shipped out to a larger landfill. Mostly local traffic - homeowners, landscapers, and folks cleaning out trucks or trailers. It sits on Jolon Road and is handier than driving all the way to a distant landfill.
Pull in to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles stop briefly - the site operates on a weigh-in/weight-out system typical of transfer stations. There are piles and compactors behind the main yard; large trucks and trailers move around, so watch for heavy equipment. Recycling and organics handling is common in California, so items may need to be separated before you get to the drop-off point. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so factor that into timing.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads with a tarp or net so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving away.
- Sort recyclables and green/organic material at home if possible - separating beforehand speeds things up and avoids extra shuffling at the bays.
- Bring smaller, manageable loads if possible; tight backing and busy traffic at the tipping area make big, awkward loads slower to handle.
