Lane County Transfer Station

Lane County Transfer Station in Veneta is where locals drop off household junk and recyclables for sorting and compaction before it gets trucked out. Neighbors who don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill use this place for everyday cleanup and projects. It’s a working, no-frills site that sees regular traffic from rural and suburban households.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s a scale that most vehicles pass over and you’ll likely stop again on the way out. The site is open-air with big bays and compacting equipment, so expect concrete pads, piles of material and dump areas rather than landscaped grounds. Recycling containers are usually grouped off to one side past the booth, and residential trucks or trailers pull up to the edge of the pads to unload. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so plan for some waiting and quick maneuvering with a trailer or pickup.
