Key Largo Transfer Station, Monroe County

Key Largo Transfer Station (Monroe County) is the local spot where household and green waste get compacted and sent off-island to a landfill. Mostly used by residents and small haulers who prefer not to drive to a distant landfill. The site sits at 11180 County Rd 905, so it’s easy to find off the main road through Key Largo.

There’s an entrance booth and a traffic flow for dropping loads; drivers usually pull up to the booth first and then move to the tipping area or scale. The operation is a transfer station, so trash gets compacted here and then hauled away on larger trucks rather than buried on-site. Look for separate piles or bays for yard waste-Florida sites often keep vegetative debris apart, especially with hurricane season in mind. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get busy, so expect lines and a bit of waiting.
