LANDFILL

North Central Transfer Station and Landfill

North Central Transfer Station

3131 K-Ville Road – Auburndale

Hours of Operation:

Monday to Friday: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday: 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

 

Waste and Recycling has separate entrances for residents and commercial haulers to the North Central Landfill. This not only makes the landfill safer for residents who haul their own trash, it also decreases the time in traffic at the landfill for all users.

The North Central Transfer Station (NCTS) is open to Polk County residents to dispose of their waste materials more conveniently. The NCTS is open on the north side of the Landfill off K-Ville Road.
