Pacific City Transfer Station

Small transfer station used by Pacific City and nearby Cloverdale residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. Vehicles pull in, unload, and the site compacts materials to be trucked out to a landfill elsewhere. Regular locals use it for weekend drop-offs and during seasonal cleanups.

There’s usually an entrance lane with a small booth or scale where vehicles stop briefly, so be ready to pull up and wait your turn. The site looks like a working yard - large bins, compactors, and trucks coming and going, and tipping areas where people unload from pickups or trailers. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at busy times. Expect to sort some materials before dumping; Oregon places a lot of emphasis on recycling and bottle returns, so having things separated saves time.
