Lane County Transfer Station

A small transfer station out on the McKenzie Highway that locals use when hauling household junk and yard debris instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place people swing by with a pickup or trailer to drop off loads that get compacted and trucked off-site.

There’s an entrance booth and a single lane to pull up before entering the yard; expect to stop at the booth and then move on to the drop-off areas. The site feels industrial - compactors, roll-off containers and a few concrete tipping bays set into the yard. Vehicles usually pull in, sort through the items at the edge of the bays, then tip contents into the appropriate container or compactor. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, so there can be a line of trucks waiting to get through.
