Transfer Station

Waste Management - James City County Transfer Station

1204 Jolly Pond Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23188

(804) 554-3212

A county transfer station in Williamsburg where local residents and small haulers drop off household and construction debris to be compacted and hauled to a landfill. Serves folks who don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill but still need a place to unload larger loads.

Expect an entrance booth and a scale - transfer stations usually weigh trucks and may direct you to pull up for a second stop on the way out. Vehicles are typically routed to tip areas or lanes; a compacting operation and large outbound trucks are visible beyond the tipping floor. Recycling and drop-off containers are often grouped to one side of the site, with traffic lanes and signage guiding where to go. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly get backed up, so lines at the entrance can form.

Before You Go

  • Bring a photo ID or proof of residency and have vehicle registration handy - many county facilities ask for them at the booth.
  • Secure loose material with tarps or straps so nothing blows out during the drive and unloading is quicker.
  • Avoid weekend mornings and major cleanup weekends if possible; midweek or later-afternoon visits are usually quicker.
