Waste Management - Burnet County Transfer Station

A small county transfer station in Burnet where residents drop off household loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Locals and contractors use it when the nearest landfill is too far to drive to. The site is at 2411 Ranch Rd #963 and feels more like a working lot than a recycling center.

Pull into a vehicle lane and approach an entrance booth or gate area where staff will likely direct traffic; there’s usually a scale somewhere on the property so trucks are weighed. The site is mostly open lot and concrete bays with large compactors or transfer trailers visible; expect to back up to a dumpster or bay for unloading if bringing a truck or trailer. There are typically separate areas or containers for bulky items and for common recyclables, and larger commercial trucks come and go throughout the day. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be noticeably busier, so lines can form at the entrance.
