Wichita Falls Transfer Station

A working transfer station where local residential and small commercial loads get compacted and sent on to a landfill. Neighbors bring pickup loads, trailers, and trucked trash instead of driving all the way out to a distant dump. It's the kind of place that sees steady traffic during yard-cleanup weekends and slower midweek.

Drive up Lawrence Road to the fenced lot and you'll see a small entrance booth where incoming vehicles pause briefly. Pull up to the scale-this type of site typically weighs trucks in and out, so plan for a short stop. The compacting pits and large roll-off containers are set back from the entrance, with traffic lanes guiding where to drop material. Expect concrete surfaces, industrial smells at times, and a practical, no-frills setup rather than landscaped grounds.
