Twisp Transfer Station is the small town transfer station people use when hauling stuff that won’t fit in curbside bins or when the landfill is a long drive. Locals drop off household garbage, bundles of yard debris and mixed recycling here rather than driving out of town.
There’s a little entrance booth and a short drive past it to an open tipping area where trucks compact loads before hauling them off. Pull up to the booth first, then cross a scale - many transfer stations charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site looks basic: gravel or paved drives, large roll-off containers and a big dumping pit rather than neat curbside bins. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up so lines and slow-moving traffic are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home; Washington facilities often require separation and having stuff ready speeds the whole visit.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible - lines get long in spring and on holiday weekends.
- Tie down or tarp loose loads and have bulky items ready to lift or slide off so unloading goes quickly when it’s your turn.
