Woodson County Transfer Sta in Yates Center is a local transfer station where household and small commercial loads are compacted and then trucked out to a regional landfill. Neighbors use it when a trip to a distant landfill would take too long or when there’s a moderate amount to drop off.
Drive into a gravel or paved yard with large roll-off containers or compacting equipment visible; vehicles typically pull up to the area where trash is emptied into larger bins. The facility handles loads rather than processing materials on site, so personal items are tossed into communal containers and hauled out later. Rural sites in Kansas sometimes operate with limited on-site staff or restricted hours, and lines can form during spring cleanups or weekend mornings.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and cover loads for transport so debris doesn’t blow out while driving to the station.
- Bring help if unloading heavy or bulky items; ramps and high-sided containers can make lifting awkward.
- Plan for possible waits during peak times and avoid showing up right at early weekend opening times when traffic is heaviest.
