West Hernando Transfer Station

Small-but-busy transfer station in Spring Hill where local residents drop off household and yard loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Mostly used by people who want a shorter drive than going all the way to a distant dump. The site sees steady traffic year-round, especially during storm cleanup season in Florida.

Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll queue behind trucks and pickups; there’s usually a scale or weighing point at the entrance or exit at places like this, so expect to stop more than once. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup or after storms, with larger commercial trailers mixing in with residential trucks. The lot is organized into piles and hopper bays for transfer, and yards for green waste are commonly separate from the main drop-off areas in Florida facilities. Bring a ready load and be prepared to drive slowly through the site while following on-site signage and traffic flow.
