Small-town transfer station just off Main in Kingfisher, used by residents hauling their household and yard debris rather than driving out to a distant landfill. The site is where local garbage gets compacted and loaded onto bigger trucks to be taken elsewhere. It gets regular use from homeowners, pickup trucks and the occasional contractor truck.
There’s a drive-in entrance with a little booth/scale area where vehicles stop; expect to pause there before proceeding into the yard. The operation looks industrial - big compacting equipment and piles or containers in the middle, with room for trucks to back up. Bring a vehicle that can unload from the curbside or bed; attendants will direct where to drop material but traffic flow means following the signs and cones. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so lining up in a short queue is common.

Before You Go
- Secure any loose material in the truck bed or trailer so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting in line or driving away.
- Load bulky items so they can be handed off or tipped quickly - having them near the tailgate saves time and hassle.
- Avoid peak times if possible: weekends and the weeks after storms or tornado cleanup often mean longer waits.
