Small-town transfer station used mostly by Kent residents and nearby towns; it's the place people bring household trash and recyclables instead of driving to a distant landfill. Quiet on weekday mornings but noticeably busier on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Pull-up convenience makes it easier for local drivers with a few bags or a pickup load.
A small entrance booth greets vehicles coming in, and there's usually a scale that trucks use - loads are processed there and then compacted before heading out. The lot has a mix of roll-off containers and a tipping area where larger loads are emptied; expect commercial trucks maneuvering through. Lines form at peak times, so there can be short wait times to get to the drop-off point. The site feels utilitarian: paved areas, concrete bunkers or bins, and the steady sound of compactors or loaders in the background.

Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose trash in an open truck bed - wind can blow lightweight stuff during the drive around the yard.
- Drive slowly and follow the flow of traffic; larger trucks need room to swing, so pull ahead if a truck is backing in.
- If unloading bulky or muddy items, park on the paved area near the tipping floor to avoid tracking mud into the road.
