Waste Management - Wildwood Transfer Station

8556 NE 44th Dr, Wildwood, FL 34785

(352) 748-0236

This is the local Waste Management transfer station in Wildwood that people use when a trip to a distant landfill isn't worth it. Loads are compacted here and then hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. Mostly visited by residents and small haulers dropping off household and yard items.

Pull up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale - expect to stop once coming in and often again to weigh out. The yard feels industrial: roll-off containers and a big tipping area where trucks and pickups unload, with compactors and larger transfer trailers nearby. Weekends, spring cleanups and hurricane-prep times bring longer lines, so plan for a wait during those periods. The layout is practical rather than pretty, so keep items secured and ready to move when it’s your turn.

Before You Go

  • Tarp and tie down loose stuff - wind and passing trucks can scatter debris.
  • Sort recyclables and separate bulky items beforehand to speed the unload process.
  • Carry photo ID or proof of residency; many county stations ask for it even if payment details vary.
