Central County Transfer Station

Central County Transfer Station in Lake Worth is the local spot where household and yard trash gets compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bringing weekend cleanups, yard waste, or storm debris use this place instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill.

Pull in at 1810 Lantana Rd and you'll see a staffed entrance booth and a lane that leads toward the tipping area; there’s typically a scale you cross and vehicles stop again on the way out. The site is industrial-looking: concrete pads, large compactors or roll-off areas, and piles of material set off to the side-yard waste areas are often separated during normal operations and especially during hurricane season. Weekends and times after storms get busy, so lines and waiting trucks are common; be prepared for a straightforward, no-frills operation where loads are sorted and compacted before being hauled away.
