Kemper Street Transfer Station

Kemper Street Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Kemper Street in Lynchburg, used by residents and small haulers who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It's the kind of place people swing by for household cleanouts, yard waste runs, and other loads that need to be compacted and trucked off-site. Traffic picks up on weekends and during spring cleanup season.

There’s a small entrance booth by the driveway, so pull up to it first and be ready to show what you’ve got. The site has large concrete tipping areas and big containers or compactors where loads get dumped and compacted before being hauled away. Expect to pass a scale at some point - many transfer stations weigh vehicles and charge by weight - and to wait in line if it’s a busy day. The place is noisy with beeping trucks and compactors, and surfaces can be dusty or muddy depending on weather.
