WesTransfer Stationide Transfer Station

Small transfer station used by local residents and hauling trucks, where trash is compacted and then hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. Located on the West Freeway just inside Fort Worth city limits, it’s the kind of place people drop household loads instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill.

Expect a drive-in layout with an entrance booth and traffic lanes for different vehicle sizes; there’s often a scale nearby since many transfer stations weigh loads. The tipping area is a large paved pad with concrete walls and compactors or roll-off containers for sorting and loading onto larger trucks. Lines can form on weekends or during neighborhood cleanups, so there may be a short wait to pull up to the booth and then the tipping area.
