63rd Avenue Transfer

Small local transfer station off 63rd Avenue that most Bradenton residents use when hauling household trash or yard clippings instead of driving all the way to a landfill. It’s the place trucks back into to compact loads before they head out of town. Neighbors, landscapers and people cleaning out garages tend to stop here.

Pull up to a staffed entrance booth and get waved through to the drop area; there’s usually a scale nearby so vehicles may stop twice. The yard looks industrial - big concrete bays, piles of compacted trash and roll-off containers, with a separate spot for yard waste during busy times. Traffic can back up on weekends and after storms, so expect a line if it’s a Saturday or right after hurricane cleanup. Drivers generally unload at the appropriate bay and then exit back over the scale for weighing before leaving.
