Transfer Station
Live oak County Transfer Station
County Rd 455, George West, TX 78022
The Live Oak County Transfer Station on County Rd 455 in George West is the local spot most residents use when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical. It handles neighborhood loads from pickups and trailers, and the setup is straightforward rather than fancy. Expect a working, a little rough, county-type facility rather than a tidy storefront.
There’s a small entrance area with a booth and a scale, so drivers stop, then move up to an unloading pad or container area. The site is mostly concrete, big metal containers and heavy trucks coming and going; bring patience if a truck is being loaded. Pull up in the lane other vehicles are using and follow the flow-people typically back in or tip and then pull away. Noise, dust and the smell of compacted trash are normal, and weekends or spring-cleanup times get backed up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items so nothing blows out on the county road.
- Have doors, tailgates and any covers easy to open for quick drop-off; loose, wet piles take longer to unload.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mid-mornings or community clean-up weekends if possible - waits can stretch out.
