Landfill or transfer station — which should you use?
Transfer stations (852 listed) are drop-off sites, usually closer to town, where your trash is consolidated and trucked to a landfill. They're often the easiest place to unload a pickup, trailer or a few bags. Landfills (1,242 listed) are where waste is buried for good. They take bigger loads and more material types, like construction debris, but are often farther out.
Before you go to the dump
- Call ahead — hours change with seasons, holidays and weather.
- Bring ID; many county sites are residents-only or charge non-residents more.
- Tarp your load and keep tires, appliances and mattresses separate.
- Paint, chemicals, batteries and propane go to a household hazardous waste site.
