Waste Management - Forest Grove Transfer Station

1525 B St, Forest Grove, OR 97116

(800) 808-5901

Small, practical transfer station in Forest Grove for people who'd rather drop a load nearby than drive to a big landfill. Neighbors and DIYers swing by with pickup loads, yard debris, and household cleanouts. It's the sort of place that gets busy on weekends and neighborhood clean-up days.

A concrete lot with a low entrance booth where vehicles line up to be weighed; most transfer stations charge by weight, so plan on stopping twice. Pull up to the booth, then follow signs and cones toward the tipping area and the recycling/collection bins that are usually off to one side. The site has large compactor buildings and open bays-bigger rigs move stuff into trailers, while cars and pickups use the smaller bays. Expect trucks coming and going, and keep an eye on traffic flow through the aisles.

Before You Go

  • Bring help and tarps for loose loads-things move quickly and securing items in the bed of a pickup makes things easier.
  • Separate recyclables and bottles beforehand if possible; sorting before getting there saves time in line.
  • Avoid peak times if possible-weekend mornings and spring cleanup can mean long waits, so a weekday midday visit will usually be quicker.
