Oakley Transfer Station

Oakley Transfer Station is the small transfer station at 550 S Worthington Ave that locals use when hauling household trash or yard debris instead of driving to a distant landfill. People from town and nearby ranches turn up with truckloads and trailers; it's the kind of place that sees a steady stream on weekends and during spring cleanup season.

The site looks like a working yard more than a storefront - expect a drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a concrete pad or compactor area where loads are emptied. Trucks and large trailers are common, and semis pull in to pick up compacted loads bound for a landfill elsewhere. Lines can form on busy days, so there’s often a short wait to get to the dropping area and back through the exit. The layout is practical: pull in, check with the booth, then move to the tipping area and follow signs or attendants directing traffic flow.
