Transfer Station

Lawrence County Transfer Sta

274 County Complex Rd, Bedford, IN 47421

(812) 278-7439

A county transfer station in Bedford where local residents drop off household trash that gets compacted and hauled to a landfill elsewhere. People who don’t want to drive out to a distant landfill use this place because it’s closer and quicker for routine loads.

There’s usually an entrance booth or gate where vehicles pause before being directed to the tipping area. Expect a fairly industrial lot with a few large dumpsters or compacting bays and commercial trucks coming and going; it doesn’t look like a recycling center with neat bins. Pull up slowly and follow the flow of traffic-drivers typically back up to a bay or tip trailer loads into a pit, then move on to a weigh scale if the site uses one. Weekends and early spring cleanup days can get crowded, so lines and waiting are common.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose items and cover loads before driving in; debris can blow out during the short wait and while maneuvering in the yard.
  • Have a photo ID and something showing residency handy-many county centers check that for residents even if payment details vary.
  • Arrive earlier in the day on weekends or during cleanup season to avoid long lines and tight parking maneuvers.
