Small-town transfer station serving Portville/Olean residents and folks from nearby towns. Mostly used by people who'd rather drop off a trunkload or a pickup bed here than drive all the way to a regional landfill. It’s the kind of place with a booth at the entrance and a handful of bays for dropping stuff off.
Pull up to a manned entrance plaza with a drive-in lane and a visible scale nearby; expect to pause at the booth before proceeding. The yard is compact rather than sprawling - a few concrete drop-off pits and one larger compaction area where trucks load up later. Recycling bins are typically along the right side just past the entrance, with general refuse bays straight ahead. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanups, so there can be a short wait to get to the tipping area.

Before You Go
- Bring items separated as best as possible before pulling up - it makes the drop quicker and keeps traffic moving.
- Have a tarp or straps ready for loose loads; securing things in the truck bed saves time when dumping.
- Try to arrive midweek or later in the afternoon to avoid the busiest weekend windows.
