SWA Transfer Stations

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County has five strategically located transfer facilities throughout Palm Beach County.  These facilities serve as centralized locations for the efficient transfer of waste and recyclables from small collection vehicles to larger SWA transfer vehicles.

The transfer stations reduce overall collection costs by decreasing the distance from the collection route to the disposal facilities.  They also dramatically reduce the total number of miles driven on Palm Beach County’s roads, decrease fuel consumption, decrease vehicle emissions, and reduce congestion around the Authority’s disposal facilities.

Transfer stations provide more than just a location for the County’s haulers to dispose of garbage, trash, vegetation, and recyclables.  All of the transfer stations have “Citizens Convenience Areas” where residents can drop-off recyclables and household hazardous waste.

Residents can drop off plastic containers #1 - #7, glass bottles and jars, aluminum cans, aluminum foil, aluminum pie plates, newspapers, corrugated cardboard, magazines, catalogs, brown paper bags, milk and juice cartons and drink boxes.

Household hazardous waste is accepted at all of the SWA's transfer stations.  Hours and materials accepted do vary, so please visit our Household Hazardous Waste page for schedules and information, or call 697-2700 or 930-2727 from the Glades or south county, or visit the Household Hazardous Home Page, for schedules and information.
