Transfer Station
Lane County Transfer Station
48977 Kitson Springs Rd, Oakridge, OR 97463
(541) 782-3923Lane County Transfer Station in Oakridge is the local spot where household and small-haul trash gets dropped off, compacted, and loaded onto trucks for transport elsewhere. Folks from town and nearby rural roads use it when a trip to the big landfill isn’t worth the drive.
Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles are directed to stop and be weighed - there’s usually a second stop on the way out. The site looks like a working lot with roll-off containers and trucks moving around, so take it slow when pulling through. Recycling bins or containers are typically set off to one side past the entrance area for easier drop-off of sorted materials. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so expect a line then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and keep them separate in the vehicle - it speeds things up and cuts down on fumbling at the containers.
- Secure loose items and cover loads if windy; debris in the yard is a hassle for everyone.
- Try a weekday morning if possible to avoid the weekend backup, especially during spring cleanup season.
