800-963-4776WesTransfer Station in Aledo is a local transfer station where trash is compacted and then trucked out to a landfill. Neighbors dropping off household junk, yard debris trailers, or construction debris use this kind of place when driving all the way to a remote landfill isn’t practical.
Drive onto the property and you'll see large concrete bays and covered tipping areas with big trucks coming and going; these facilities are built to handle heavy loads rather than small curbside bags. There is typically a gatehouse or attendant booth near the entrance and a weigh scale nearby, so plan to stop, pull up, and then follow the flow toward the unloading area. Expect compactors and transfer trailers stacked inside the yard, and be prepared for a working industrial feel - dust, diesel, and noise are normal. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so parking or idling for a short wait is possible.
