Porter Transfer Station

Porter Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Orlando where residential trucks and haulers drop off material to be compacted and hauled to a landfill. Neighbors use it when they don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill, especially for big cleanouts or yard debris after storms.

There’s a booth near the entrance and a scale area where vehicles slow down and stop; the site handles large trucks and trailers so lanes are wide. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs and traffic flow to the tipping area where crews compact material into large containers or trailers for transport. The yard has separate piles and bays; yard waste areas are usually off to one side, and hurricane-season debris can mean bigger piles and longer waits. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so expect some line time and slow-moving traffic inside the site.
