Leflore County Transfer Station

Leflore County Transfer Station in Poteau is a local transfer station where residents drop off household and yard loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors bringing pickup loads, trailers, or small trailers use this place because it’s closer than driving all the way to a distant landfill.

There’s an entrance with a small scale booth where vehicles stop briefly before moving into the tipping area; be prepared to pull forward for weight and traffic. The site is industrial-looking - concrete pads, compactors or containers, and piles or bins where trucks load material. Drive slowly through the yard, follow the flow of other vehicles, and position larger loads so they can be tipped or emptied without blocking traffic. Busy times include weekends and storm cleanup periods, especially after tornadoes when crews and residents bring extra debris.
