Waste Management - Forest Park Transfer Station

A local transfer station off Lamar Drive where neighborhood trash and construction debris get compacted and sent on to a landfill. People from Forest Park and nearby communities use it when curbside pickup won’t handle their load, or when taking larger bags and items themselves.

Drive up to a single entrance lane and look for the small entrance booth near the lot; staff will direct vehicles where to pull up. The site has big concrete tipping areas and compactors rather than a simple drop box, so commercial trucks and larger pickups are common. There’s usually a weigh scale at most transfer stations and loads are handled by attendants who guide where to unload, though specific procedures vary. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so expect a line during peak hours.
