Sooner Landfill and Transfer Station in Wewoka, OK is a small transfer station where local trash gets compacted and hauled off to a larger landfill. Neighbors and folks from nearby rural roads use it when the drive to a big landfill isn’t worth it. The site looks plain and practical - gravel, big machines, and an entrance booth.
Pull up to the entrance booth first; that's where traffic is usually directed before unloading. Vehicles then move to a tipping area or bay to dump loads, and there will be heavy equipment compacting and loading up trucks. Recyclables and bulky piles are often off to the side, so there’s a mix of mounded material and compressed bales. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to have the longest lines, so plan for a wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose stuff on trailers and beds - wind or bumps on the drive can send debris everywhere.
- Sort bulky items and anything recyclable at home so unloading goes faster once at the drop-off area.
- Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for grabbing and securing awkward pieces; busy days mean more waiting and less help.
