A small county transfer station just off Tamaha Road in Stigler, used by local residents and contractors who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It handles compacting and loading of trash onto larger trucks that haul the material elsewhere, so most folks come with loads rather than long-haul rigs.
Look for a pull-up area and an entrance spot where vehicles stop briefly to check in and be directed; the site itself is more utilitarian than pretty, with compactors, roll-off pits, and larger transfer trailers visible. Vehicles typically drive up to a tipping area where trash is dumped and compacted before being moved onto bigger trucks. Weekends and post-storm cleanups can make lines longer, and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on weather.

Before You Go
- Secure loose debris and cover loads if windy - Oklahoma storms and gusts can scatter lightweight trash en route or while waiting in line.
- Bring help or gear for heavy items; there’s usually a short walk from the drop point to the compactor area and awkward loads are harder to maneuver solo.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or the days after big local cleanups if possible - the line moves slower when many people have bulky or storm-related debris.
