Oak Harbor Transfer Station

Small transfer station used by Oak Harbor residents and folks from nearby areas dropping off household and yard materials. A compact place where loads are offloaded, compacted, and then hauled out to a landfill elsewhere. Handy for anyone who'd rather not drive all the way to a distant landfill.

A single-lane entrance with an attendant booth near the road and a scale you drive over - many transfer stations charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Pull into the booth first, then follow signs and arrows to the unloading bays and recycling area; bins for recyclables and yard debris are typically grouped to the side. The site feels industrial: concrete pads, large roll-up bays, and compacting equipment in the back, with trucks coming and going. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up into the access road, so lines are common at busy times.
