Small county transfer station used by Glen Rose residents and contractors who don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. The site compacts trash and then hauls it off to a larger landfill, so it tends to be busier than a simple drop-off. Expect mostly local traffic and trucks coming and going.
Drive up to an entrance area with a booth where vehicles usually stop briefly, then pull forward to the tipping area or compactor. Loads are generally handled on-site and then moved out on larger trucks, so there are working vehicles and equipment around. Recycling or drop-off containers are often located to the side of the main pad, and piles of sorted material can be visible. Lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a short wait before getting to the scale or tipping point.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and load tarps tightly; wind can scatter trash when backing up to the tip area.
- Separate recyclables and materials from general trash before arriving so unloading is quicker.
- Plan for some waiting time on weekends or spring cleanup days and bring water or a phone to wait in the vehicle if needed.
