Transfer Station

Ferry County Torboy Transfer

584 Torboy Dump Rd, Republic, WA 99166

(509) 775-8019

Small county transfer station just off Torboy Dump Road used by Republic residents and rural folks hauling household trash or cleanup loads. The place handles loads that get compacted and trucked out to a larger landfill, so it’s more convenient than driving all the way to a distant dump.

Drive up to a gravel entrance with a small booth near the road and pull up to the scale area; many transfer stations use scales and may weigh vehicles. Recycling bins are typically set to one side and yard waste is often separated, in line with Washington’s emphasis on recycling and yard-waste diversion. The site looks like a working yard - piles, compactors, and trucks come and go - and vehicles are staged to unload into different bays before the compactors. Weekends, especially spring cleanup times, tend to see longer lines and some waiting to get to the drop points.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and yard waste at home if possible - putting those out separately saves time at the drop points.
  • Bring a tarp and straps for loose loads so material doesn’t blow out while driving; gloves and sturdy boots make unloading easier.
  • Try to go on a weekday morning if possible; weekend and seasonal cleanup traffic can add significant wait time.
