A working transfer station just off US Highway 330 that locals use when they don't want to haul trash all the way to a landfill. Trucks drop off, stuff gets compacted and loaded onto bigger rigs headed elsewhere. People from Molina and nearby ranches swing by with pickups, trailers, and the occasional cargo van.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and tell them what’s being dropped off; there’s usually a scale nearby where loads are weighed. The site is mostly open concrete bays and a big compactor area, with large trucks coming and going - expect some diesel smell and the sound of loaders. Pull up into the obvious lane for residential unloading, hand off the material, then back out to the exit where the scale is commonly located again. Lines build on weekends and during spring-cleanup, so traffic and wait times can vary a lot.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have everything sorted and ready in the truck or trailer before reaching the booth so unloading goes quickly.
- Secure loose loads with a tarp and straps; wind and passing trucks can make things messy.
- If possible, aim for a weekday or mid-morning visit to avoid the busiest weekend crowds.
