Latrobe Transfer Station on Mission Road is the local transfer station for Latrobe and nearby areas, where household and contractor loads are compacted and loaded onto bigger trucks bound for a landfill. It’s a no-frills, workmanlike place-built to move a lot of material rather than look pretty.
Drive in from Mission Road and pass a small entrance booth and a scale; expect to stop to be weighed. After that there are lanes leading to concrete unloading bays where heavy equipment pushes material into transfer trailers. Big trucks come and go, so there’s dust on dry days and frequent backing maneuvers. Weekends and spring-cleanup season commonly have lines, so allow extra time if it looks busy.

Before You Go
- Secure loose items with a tarp or tie-downs so trash doesn’t blow out on the way; winds off the road can make a mess.
- Have someone spot you when backing into the unloading bay - the turns are tight and precision helps keep things moving.
- Have payment ready and be prepared for a scale stop on the way out, since charges at transfer stations are typically calculated by weight.
