Cleburne Transfer Station

Cleburne Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Pipeline Road where household and small commercial loads are dropped off to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bring trailers, pickup loads, and bulk items here instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. It gets used by people from around Cleburne who want a nearer option for larger cleanups.

Drive up the long drive and you'll spot an entrance booth and a scale area typical of transfer stations; expect to stop at the booth and then again on the way out to cross the scale. The site is more industrial than pretty - concrete pads, compactors, and roll-off areas - with trucks moving in and out. Pull into the lanes as directed by signage or attendants and unload into the open bays or compactor pits. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there may be a wait before getting to a drop-off spot.
