Small town transfer station used by residents hauling household trash and yard debris. Located in Oroville, this is the kind of place people stop at when they don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. It's mostly for dropping off loads that get compacted and sent out on larger trucks.
A gate with an entrance booth and a scale are part of the drive-in routine, so be prepared to slow down and stop twice if needed. The yard is paved with big roll-off containers and a raised tipping area where trucks and cars dump. There are usually separate drop spots for recyclables and organics at similar stations, and traffic builds up on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups. Vehicles pull up to the scale, then move into the unloading area before returning to the exit scale.

Before You Go
- Arrive early on weekends-lines tend to form and wait times get long during spring and fall cleanups.
- Load items so they can be unloaded quickly: tie loose debris, keep boxes closed, and have car doors open for faster access.
- Bring anything tied down or tarped so loads don't shed; compacted loads and larger trucks are common, so secure gear well before driving in.
