Waste Management - Sterling, VA (Hauling / Transfer Station)

A busy transfer station in Sterling that handles residential toss-offs and hauler drop-offs from around Northern Virginia. People bring carloads and small trailer loads here when driving out to a distant landfill doesn't make sense.

A fairly large paved lot with an entrance booth and a scale-vehicles stop at the booth, pull forward to the scale, then head to the tipping area. Expect big roll-off trucks and compactors working nearby, with a noisy, industrial feel and dust on windy days. There are clear lanes for cars and larger trucks, and people usually unload directly into steel bays where material is compacted for hauling out. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the entrance.
