​What is the Transfer Station?

The Transfer Station is a large building that all of the garbage destined for the landfill is brought into. This refuse is loaded into 18 wheeler's using very large heavy equipment, and taken to the landfill for disposal.

What is the Customer Convenience Station?

This is the location that we provide for our customers to bring in garbage. Everything that comes in and out of the Transfer Station Facility is tracked through weight. When you enter our facility, your vehicle is weighted on a large scale. Once you have off loaded your materials, you go back across the scales. Our system calculates the amount of weight that was brought into the facility, and calculates the total amount that should be charged. The Scale House attendant will take payment from you at this time. We accept cash, local checks, and credit cards.

​What is the Yard Waste Pile?

This is where people can bring yard waste for disposal. Yard waste is classified as leaves, grass, pine needles, yard clippings and small brush (green waste). Residential customers that live inside of the city limits and bring their City of Huntsville water bill, can dispose of yard waste for free.

What is the Recycling Drop Off Center?

This is the location that you can bring many different items to be recycled. If you do not participate in our curbside Recycling program, if you have items that can be recycled but are not accepted through the curbside recycling program, if you have items that wont fit in your blue cart, or if you live outside the city limits, you can bring these items here. Please see our Recycling Drop Off Center page for more information.

What is the Tire Pile?

This is the location at our facility where you can place any tires that you bring in. Landfills will not accept tires. All the tires that are collected by the City of Huntsville are shipped to a Texas company that recycles these tires. Click here to go to our current tire recycling company.

​What is the Metal Pile?

This is the location at our facility where you can place any metal that you bring in. This includes items like appliances, BBQ pits, tin roofing materials, tire rims, water heaters, etc. This material gets taken to one of our local recycling vendors instead of being taken to the landfill.

Low income families and non profit organizations that are looking to make home/facility improvements can come to this warehouse to to look for items that can could be used for those improvements.
