Manassas Transfer Station

A plain transfer station on Quarry Rd in Manassas that locals use when they don’t want to drive out to a landfill. People bring household junk, yard debris and construction-type loads; it’s the sort of place neighbors haul a trailer to on a weekend or after a remodel. Shows up like a working yard rather than a tidy drop-off center.

Pulling in you'll see a small entrance booth and a drive-up lane leading to a big concrete tipping area and heavy equipment. The site is set up to compact and load waste into larger trucks that head off to a landfill, so expect dump trucks, loaders and a fair bit of noise and dust. There’s usually a scale and traffic can back up on weekend mornings or during spring cleanups, so plan for a wait if the line is long. Bring clothes that can handle dirt - this isn’t a spotless place.
