Ft.Pierce Transfer station

Small but busy transfer station off Selvitz Rd in Fort Pierce, used mostly by locals dropping off household junk, yard clippings, and contractor loads. It compacts trash on-site and then hauls it out to a landfill, so it's often quicker than driving all the way out to a distant dump. Helpful for anyone who needs to get rid of a big load without a long drive.

A single-lane entrance with a small booth where vehicles stop before pulling onto the site; expect to pause there before moving forward. There’s a concrete tipping area and large compactors or roll-off crews operating beyond the drop-off point, so trucks and loaders are common. The site is more industrial than a city drop-off-piles, heavy equipment, and a bit of dust-so take care when maneuvering. Weekends and storm-recovery times bring noticeably longer lines, so plan accordingly.
