Republic Services GranTransfer Station Pass Transfer Station

Small-ish transfer station used by local residents who want to drop a load without driving out to a landfill. People bring everything from yard debris to household junk and then the trucks here compact it and haul it away. It’s the kind of place neighbors mention when talking about getting rid of bulky items quickly.

Pull up to an entrance booth and be ready to wait if there’s a line; weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest waits. There’s a scale and most vehicles are weighed, so expect to stop twice - in and out - and have the driver paperwork or ID ready if needed. The site looks industrial: big concrete pads, roll-off containers and compacting equipment, with signs and drop-off lanes telling drivers where to go. Recycling rules in Oregon mean sorting is often required, and bottle deposits are handled separately, so separate bottles and cans from general trash before getting in line.
