Stokes County Waste Transfer

2015 Sizemore Rd, Germanton, NC 27019

(336) 994-2357

Small transfer station out on Sizemore Road that locals use when the county landfill is too far. People dropping off household junk, yard debris in pickup loads, or small trailers come here because trucks compact the load and haul it off. It feels like a working municipal spot rather than a polished private business.

A single entrance with an attendant booth and a lane to pull up; expect to stop at the booth first and then follow staff directions for where to unload. There's usually a scale and large compactor bays further in, so vehicles move from the drop-off point toward the exit after unloading. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, metal containers, and heavy equipment noises - and weekends or spring cleanups tend to be noticeably busier. Recycling or drop-off containers for common household recyclables are often set off to the side, separate from the main tipping area.

Before You Go

  • Bring something to cover loose material in a pickup or trailer; windy days scatter leaves and bagged debris quickly.
  • Arrive midweek or early in the morning to avoid the longest lines, since weekends fill up with local cleanups.
  • Sort obvious recyclables and bulky items at the curb before driving in to speed up the unload and keep traffic moving.
