Small transfer station in Covington that locals use when hauling household junk or yard debris instead of driving to a distant landfill. Mostly serves residential drop-offs and smaller commercial hauls, and it's the sort of place neighbors bring trailers or pickup loads.
Find a guarded entrance area with a scale and a drop-off pad where loads get compacted and then shipped out to a landfill. Pull up to the booth/scale first so the vehicle can be weighed; expect to stop again after dumping for an outbound weight. The site looks industrial-concrete pads, metal bays, and compacted piles rather than a tidy recycling center. Weekends, especially spring cleanup days, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and straps on open loads since stopping for weighing means the truck will idle on site and loose items can shift.
- Bring items separated by type in the vehicle for quicker unloading-loose bags, bulky furniture, and small items handled differently can speed the process.
- Aim for early weekday visits if possible; weekend and spring-cleanup periods often have the longest waits.
