A county transfer station on Gum Road where residents drop off household and yard debris before it’s compacted and sent off to a landfill. Locals use it when hauling a truckload or trailer is easier than driving all the way to a distant landfill.
There’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up - plan to stop at the booth first and follow attendants' directions. A scale is nearby and loads are typically weighed, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site is mostly open concrete and large bays with compactors and transfer trucks; yard piles are often separated from general refuse, and after storms there can be extra piles of hurricane debris. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines can form at the entrance and at the drop-off points.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads before leaving home; loose debris blows off on the approach road and while waiting in line.
- Bring basic tools and gloves for shifting or breaking down bulky items - it makes unloading faster and safer.
- Try to arrive early in the day on weekdays if possible; weekend and post-storm afternoons are the busiest times.
