Town of Lodi Transfer Site is the small transfer station just outside Lodi that locals use to drop off household and yard items before they're compacted and hauled off-site. Many neighbors swing by with pickup loads or trailers rather than making the drive to a distant landfill. It's a practical, no-frills place - not a scenic park, but it gets the job done.
Pull into a plainly marked entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby; drivers usually stop at the booth and then move on to the unloading area. The site feels industrial - gravel or paved lot, big concrete bays and large containers, with a compactor or transfer trailer in view. Traffic can stack up at busy times, so there's often a short line of pickups and small trailers. Be prepared to back into a bay or dump area and to secure loose material so it doesn't blow out during unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the truck or trailer beforehand so unloading is quicker and fewer trips around the site are needed.
- Tie down or tarp loose items; wind can be a problem in an open lot and loose debris is a hassle to collect.
- Plan for lines on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup - arriving earlier or later in the day will save time.
