Transfer Station

Allentown Transfer Station

2710 Golden Key Road, Kutztown, PA 19530

800-963-4776

A small transfer station just off Golden Key Road that locals use when they don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. Mostly residential cars and small trucks show up with household junk, yard waste bags, and construction debris on busier days. It’s the kind of place that’s useful for quick drop-offs rather than full-day hauls.

Pull into a single entrance where there’s typically an attendant booth and a traffic flow that directs vehicles toward the unloading area. There’s usually a scale somewhere on site since loads are compacted and then trucked out-expect to stop on the way out as well. The yard is industrial-looking: concrete pads, compactors, and piles or containers; it’s not tidy like a recycling center. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, so lines and wait times increase noticeably.

Before You Go

  • Load and secure items ahead of time so unloading is faster - loose stuff slows the whole line down.
  • Separate recyclables, electronics, and hazardous items before arriving if possible; it speeds up sorting even if final acceptance rules aren’t known.
  • Bring gloves and something to cover beds or trunks; the place is dusty and things often scrape during unloading.
