J & D Transfer Station

J & D Transfer Station is a neighborhood transfer station off Old Sanford Oviedo Road in Winter Springs, used by residents and small haulers who don't want to drive to a distant landfill. The site compacts trash and loads it onto larger trucks that then haul it elsewhere, so expect a working, industrial feel rather than a tidy drop-off lot.

Pull up to an entrance booth and then through a gate where large trucks come and go; a truck scale is commonly set up at stations like this so vehicles are often weighed. The yard has concrete bays and compactors, with piles and trailers visible from the drive lanes; be ready for slow-moving equipment and backing trucks. Weekends and spring cleanup time get backed up, and Florida's hurricane season brings a lot more debris through these places, so lines can form quickly.
