South Metro Transfer Station

A straightforward transfer station where local trash is compacted and hauled out to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bring household bags, yard debris and small loads that are easier to drop off here than drive all the way to a distant dump.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale on site so expect to pause again on the way out. The site is big and industrial-looking - concrete tipping floors, large roll-off containers and trucks coming and going. Pull up to the instructed dumping area, toss items into the appropriate container or onto the tipping floor, then back away so the compactors or trucks can do their job. Weekends and spring clean-up times tend to get busier, so lines can form at the gate.
