(941) 486-1352KnighTransfer Station Trail Transfer Station in Nokomis is the local transfer station where residents drop off household and yard materials to be compacted and hauled off to a landfill. Neighbors use it when hauling loads that feel too big for curbside pickup or when a quick trip to the landfill would take too long. It sits on Knights Trail Road just off the main stretch through town.
There’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up to for check-in, and larger trucks typically line up behind cars. The site is set up for compacting and loading, so expect to see big containers and push crews working the piles. Many Florida transfer stations have a scale and charge by weight, so plan for a brief stop before leaving. Weekends and days after storms get busy, and sections for yard debris are often separate from general loads.
