City of Taylor Transfer Station and Taylor Hills Compost Site

A no-frills transfer station that mostly locals use when hauling household junk or pruning brush. It’s where trash is compacted and sent off to a larger landfill, and people who don’t want to drive out to a distant landfill stop here instead. Expect a working-site vibe rather than a parklike recycling center.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop for a quick check - there’s a scale and a second stop on the way out for weighing. The yard is an open lot with roll-off containers and a few concrete bunkers; compost piles for green material sit separate from general trash areas. Recycling bins are usually parked to one side near the entrance, while transfer trailers and compactors occupy the main pit. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so lines and slow-moving trucks are common.
