A working transfer station in Wimberley where locals drop off household junk and smaller loads that get compacted and hauled out to a landfill. People who live in town or nearby rural areas use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t practical. The site sits at 1691 Carney Ln, easy to find off the main roads in town.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the drive-in, so traffic slows at the front; plan for a short stop there before moving on. Vehicles pull up to a concrete tipping area and most loads are compacted and loaded into larger trucks rather than buried on-site. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually grouped to one side while the main transfer pits dominate the center of the yard. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines and some waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose material before leaving home-windy trips and loose debris make unloading messier and slower.
- Bring help for heavy items and wear sturdy shoes; the ground around the tipping area can be uneven and dusty.
- Aim for an off-peak time on a weekday morning if possible to avoid long lines, especially during community cleanup seasons.
