Heavener Transfer Station/Dump is on Old Hwy 59 in Heavener, Oklahoma and is the place most locals use to drop household trash instead of driving to a distant landfill. The facility compacts loads here and trucks them out to a landfill elsewhere. Expect a small entrance booth and an open yard for unloading.
Pull up to the booth at the entrance to announce your load; vehicles will often queue if it's busy. Transfer stations commonly use a scale and may weigh loads, so plan for a short stop in and out. The yard is mostly open with large pits or compactors where material gets dumped and compressed before transport. Busy times are usually weekends and spring cleanup season, so bring patience and room to maneuver.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp so nothing blows out while driving and so unloading goes quicker.
- Wear gloves and closed-toe shoes; the ground can be uneven and there are always sharp bits around the drop area.
- Position the truck or trailer before entering the unload zone so backing up is minimal, and have someone spot if the angle is tight.
