Travis County Transfer Station

A local transfer station in Cedar Park where residential and small commercial loads get compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors use it when they don't want to drive out to a distant dump, and it's the kind of place that sees steady traffic on weekends and seasonal cleanups.

Drive up to a gated entrance with an attended booth and be prepared to stop for directions; there’s usually a spot to pull up and be directed where to unload. The site is mostly concrete bays and large compactors; trucks regularly come and go hauling the compacted material offsite. Expect to pass a scale and stop again on the way out at most transfer stations, since loads are commonly weighed. The overall feel is industrial - big piles, heavy equipment, and clear lanes for truck traffic.
