Cherokee County Transfer Sta

Cherokee County Transfer Sta is the local transfer station in Tahlequah where residents drop off household and yard stuff to be compacted and trucked out to a landfill. Neighbors bring everything from small pickups to trailers, especially when doing a big cleanup. It’s the practical option if driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t appealing.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to wait your turn when it’s busy-weekends and spring cleanup can back things up. A scale is usually near the entrance or exit, so trucks stop twice if weight is charged. The tipping area is a fenced concrete pad with compactors or transfer trailers nearby; look for signs pointing where to pull in and where recyclables are parked off to the side. The whole place has a working-yard feel: dusty in dry weather, muddy after rain, and clearly laid out for quick drop-offs if traffic is light.
