Doraville Transfer Station at 2784 Woodwin Rd is the local transfer point for household and small-hauler loads in Doraville, Georgia. Neighbors and contractors use it when hauling material that gets compacted and sent on to a landfill rather than being dumped on-site.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; many stations use a scale so vehicles are often weighed in and out. After the booth, lanes lead to covered concrete bays and large compactors where trucks load the compressed material into bigger transfer trailers. The yard looks industrial-big machinery, roll-up doors, and regular transfer trucks coming and going-so expect noise and diesel smells. Lineups are common on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so allow extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have ID and vehicle info handy at the booth to speed the check-in process.
- Secure loose material with a tarp or straps before arriving; wind-blown debris can be a problem and slows unloading.
- Separate bulky or awkward items in the truck bed so they’re easier to lift at the drop-off bay and to avoid extra handling delays.
