Redway Transfer Station is the town transfer station where local trash is compacted and loaded into larger trucks to be hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors and small haulers use it when it’s more convenient than driving out of town to the landfill.
Drive in and there’s a small entrance booth and a scale; many transfer stations weigh vehicles and use that for fees, so expect a brief stop. The site has concrete tipping bays and open containers where loads are dumped, then compacted and transferred into trailers. Recycling and green-waste containers are usually near the front, and in California organics often need to be kept separate from regular trash. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, so lines can form and move slowly.

Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into trash, recyclables, and green waste so unloading is quicker; separating organics ahead of time saves time at the drop-off.
- Bring work gloves, a tarp for loose loads, and something to secure items in the bed of a truck so nothing blows out while pulling in or out.
- If possible, try for a weekday or early-morning visit to avoid the weekend rush; when there’s a line, pull in and wait rather than circling-the lot fills fast.
