Pro Transfer Station and Recovery Center

Pro Transfer Station and Recovery Center at 850 E 19th St in Erie is the local transfer station where residents and commercial haulers drop off loads to be compacted and shipped out to a landfill elsewhere. Useful for anyone who'd rather stop at a nearby yard than drive to a distant landfill, it sees a steady stream of small trucks and pickups.

Drive up to a modest entrance area with a booth and a scale - many transfer stations use weight to calculate charges, so plan on stopping twice if that’s the case here. The site is mostly paved with a working yard full of large trucks, a building or bays where loads get compacted, and the usual noise of hydraulics and clanking metal. Pull into a lane when directed, tip the load in the bay or area provided, then exit back toward the scale; it isn’t fancy but it gets the job done. Expect lines to build on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
