Safety Harbor Yard Waste Transfer

A modest transfer station on 10th Street that handles yard trimmings and other residential drop-offs for Safety Harbor homeowners. Neighbors use it when hauling branches or yard debris that they don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. It's the kind of place locals know to hit when doing a big yard cleanup or after storms.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles are weighed, so be prepared to stop at least twice – in and out. The site is mostly open piles and compacting equipment, with separate areas for piles of yard material versus the compactors and roll-off trucks. Traffic can bottleneck on weekends and during hurricane cleanups, so lines and waiting are common then. The layout is practical and workmanlike: pull up, drop material where directed, and follow the flow of trucks leaving with compacted loads.
