A transfer station in Killeen where local residents and small haulers drop off household and construction debris before it’s compacted and trucked out. Convenient for people who don’t want to make the longer drive to a regional landfill, this spot handles the intermediate step of consolidation.
Drive in off TX-195 to a clearly marked entrance with an attended booth and a pull-up lane; plan for a brief stop at the booth before proceeding. There’s usually a scale nearby, so vehicles may be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. Large concrete tipping areas and compactors are visible from the unloading zone, with high berms or piles of material around the site. Lines build up on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so expect occasional wait times and some diesel smell from the managing trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring tarps and tie-downs so loose material doesn’t blow out of the truck while waiting in line or on the road back home.
- Unload bulky items first and flatten cardboard or break down furniture to speed up the drop-off process.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; having a second person to help lift heavy items makes the visit much quicker and safer.
