(719) 574-8989GFL Colorado Springs Transfer Station is a local transfer station on the east side of town that people use when hauling household junk, construction debris, or yard waste they don't want to drive all the way to a landfill. It’s the kind of industrial lot with big trucks coming and going; residents drop off loads here so the material gets compacted and shipped out to a landfill elsewhere.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale so expect to stop at least twice - once coming in and again on the way out if the site charges by weight. The yard is paved and feels like a working truck yard: large roll-up doors, concrete tipping areas, and big transfer trailers parked around. Lines can form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so be prepared to wait behind pickups and trailers. Pull up to the booth, follow the lane markings, then move to the unloading area indicated by signs or traffic flow.
