Waste Management - Tazewell Transfer Station

Small transfer station just off E Washington that locals use when a landfill drive isn’t worth it. Mostly residential and small commercial drop-offs; the site compacts loads and sends them on to a larger landfill. It’s the kind of place people go when cleaning out a garage or doing a quick yard cleanup.

Drive up to a gate and a small entrance booth area where vehicles line up; there’s a scale on the way in and another stop as you leave, so plan for a short wait. The yard is open with large concrete bunkers and a compactor truck or two working through loads, and big roll-off containers or recycling bins off to the side. Backing into a bay is common, so smaller trucks and trailers need to be able to maneuver. Weekends and spring cleanup days get noticeably busier and slower.
