Central Transfer Station MSW is the local transfer station in Longwood where household and municipal trash is compacted and loaded for transport to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors, landscapers, and small haulers use it when driving to a distant landfill would be impractical.
Drive up the entrance road and you'll pass a small booth and a scale - they charge by weight so expect to stop twice, entering and exiting. The site is big and industrial: large concrete bays, compactors, and piles of material behind fences, with separate areas for things like yard debris common at Florida facilities. Weekends and spring cleanup times get lines, and after storms the place can be noticeably busier with hurricane debris traffic.

Before You Go
- Have a rough idea of your load weight and vehicle type ready to speed things along at the scale and booth.
- Secure loose trash and cover loads if needed; wind on FL-419 can scatter lightweight stuff during the drive in and out.
- Go midweek or early in the morning to avoid the heaviest lines-weekends and seasonal cleanups are when backups happen most.
