Know before you go to the station
The South Transfer Station is open Tuesday to Saturday, but you have to request a voucher before you go. You cannot show up without one, and you cannot schedule a voucher on-site at the station.
When you call to schedule a time, you'll be asked for:
- The specific week (Tuesday to Friday) or specific Saturday you want to drop off your items
- The name of the person who will be bringing the materials to the transfer station
- Confirmation that the address on this person's ID matches the address on the voucher
- The materials you plan to bring to the transfer station
