The Lodi Recycling Recovery and Transfer Station, commonly listed today as Lodi Transfer Station, is located at 1333 East Turner Road in Lodi, California.
The facility provides a local destination for waste drop-off and transfer services for Lodi and surrounding San Joaquin County communities. The historical Northern California/Nevada facility page described the station as conveniently located near Highway 99 and serving both recycling and waste-disposal needs.
Current WMSolutions information continues to identify the property as an operating transfer station and currently confirms municipal solid waste as an accepted non-hazardous waste category.
Residents with electronics, mattresses, tires, household hazardous waste or other special materials should pay particular attention to the distinction between regular transfer-station acceptance and special collection events, because some materials may only be accepted during designated programs.

Lodi Transfer Station Address
Lodi Transfer Station
1333 East Turner Road
Lodi, CA 95240
The archived facility page used this same address, and current City of Lodi and WM resources continue to identify the transfer station at 1333 E. Turner Road.
An official WM rate sheet also lists the facility phone number as:
(209) 333-5660
For general local waste-service questions, current City of Lodi information lists WM customer service at (209) 369-8274.
Lodi Transfer Station Hours
The historical facility page listed the following regular operating hours:
- Monday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Tuesday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Wednesday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Thursday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Friday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday: 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
- Sunday: Closed
The most recent official WM gate-rate document surfaced for the facility lists the same Monday-through-Saturday schedule.
However, the current WMSolutions listing specifically advises customers to contact the receiving facility to confirm current hours and acceptable materials, because receiving conditions can vary.
Holiday Hours
The archived Lodi page listed closures or shortened schedules around major holidays, including New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Holiday arrangements can change from year to year, so customers planning a holiday-week visit should verify the schedule before traveling.
What Is a Transfer Station?
A transfer station is an intermediate point in the waste-management system.
Instead of every collection vehicle transporting waste directly to a distant landfill or processing facility, waste can first be delivered to a transfer station. Materials can then be consolidated and moved onward in larger loads for appropriate processing, recycling or final disposal.
This creates the basic relationship:
Home or Business → Collection/Self-Haul → Transfer Station → Recycling or Final Disposal
For Lodi-area residents, the facility can also provide a local disposal option when a load is too large or unsuitable for normal curbside service.
What Materials Does Lodi Transfer Station Currently Accept?
Current WMSolutions information specifically confirms the following standard non-hazardous category at Lodi Transfer Station:
Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is currently listed as an accepted non-hazardous material at the facility.
Municipal solid waste generally refers to ordinary trash generated by households, businesses and institutions.
Examples may include everyday non-hazardous garbage and general cleanout material that cannot be handled through recycling or another specialized recovery program.
Because loads can contain unusual materials, customers should confirm acceptance before transporting anything outside normal household or business trash.
Hazardous Waste Is Not Part of Regular Transfer-Station Acceptance
The current WMSolutions facility listing explicitly states that Lodi Transfer Station does not accept hazardous waste through its regular receiving operation.
This distinction is important because Lodi also hosts special household hazardous-waste collection events at the same address at designated times.
A special event does not mean household hazardous waste can be brought to the station during normal operating hours.
Recycling in Lodi
Recycling is part of Lodi’s broader waste-management system, even though the current WMSolutions profile for the transfer station itself only explicitly confirms municipal solid waste as its standard accepted category.
The City of Lodi currently provides separate curbside recycling guidance and states that WM provides local residential and commercial garbage and recyclable-material collection under its agreement with the city.
For everyday recyclables, residents should generally follow their local curbside recycling instructions rather than assuming all recyclables should be self-hauled to the transfer station.
Special Recycling & Drop-Off Events at Lodi Transfer Station
One of the most useful current relationships to preserve on this recovery page is the transfer station’s role as a site for special collection events.
The City of Lodi currently states that several annual collection programs are held at 1333 E. Turner Road.
These programs can include:
- Electronic waste collection
- Mattress disposal
- Tire collection
- Secure document shredding
- Household hazardous-waste collection on designated event dates
- Dollar Dump Days for qualifying residents
These are event-based programs, not confirmation of everyday material acceptance.
Residents should check the current City of Lodi or WM event calendar before transporting one of these materials.
Electronic Waste Drop-Off
Electronic waste should not be treated as ordinary household garbage.
The City of Lodi identifies items such as:
- Televisions
- Computers
- Printers
- Cell phones
- Telephones
- DVD/VCR equipment
- Radios and stereos
- Electrical cords
as examples of electronic waste and states that e-waste collection events are held at Lodi Transfer Station.
Current 2026 local event information also confirms e-waste collection among special drop-off programs held at the Turner Road facility.
Do not assume electronics can be dropped off during ordinary transfer-station hours unless current facility guidance specifically says so.
Mattress & Box Spring Disposal
Mattresses and box springs were part of the historical accepted-material footprint of the Lodi facility page. The archived page discussed donation, bulky-item collection and approved disposal as potential management options for unwanted mattresses.
Current local information confirms that mattress disposal is offered during designated Lodi collection events, with the 2026 program listing mattress drop-off alongside e-waste, shredding and tires.
Because California also operates a statewide mattress-recycling system, residents should consider recycling before general disposal when an appropriate participating location is available.
Do not interpret the old facility listing as proof that mattresses are accepted every day at the transfer station.
Tire Disposal
Car and truck tires appeared in the historical Lodi facility’s accepted-material directory. The archived resource emphasized recycling, tire-retailer take-back and community collection events as alternatives to improper disposal.
Current Lodi programs continue this relationship through special collection events. Current 2026 event information includes tire drop-off, with quantity limits applying to participating households.
Tire quantities, sizes and charges can be handled differently from ordinary trash, so verify the current program before visiting.
Household Hazardous Waste
Household hazardous waste requires special handling.
Examples can include:
- Paint
- Solvents
- Automotive chemicals
- Cleaning chemicals
- Batteries
- Fluorescent lamps
- Certain pesticides and household chemicals
The standard Lodi Transfer Station listing says hazardous waste is not accepted through normal facility operations.
However, the City of Lodi states that an annual household hazardous-waste event is held at the transfer station, while San Joaquin County also operates a dedicated Household Hazardous Waste Consolidation Facility in Stockton.
Therefore:
Regular transfer-station drop-off ≠ HHW event acceptance
Always use the designated hazardous-waste program.
Appliances
Appliances were historically prominent on the Lodi facility page.
The archived content separated appliances into two groups:
Appliances With Refrigerants
Historical examples included:
- Refrigerators
- Freezers
- Air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
- Refrigerated water coolers
- Some heat-pump equipment
These appliances require additional care because they may contain refrigerants.
Appliances Without Refrigerants
Historical examples included:
- Washing machines
- Dryers
- Water heaters
- Ovens
- Microwaves
- Stoves
- Trash compactors
- Residential furnaces
The historical relationship is worth preserving for topical relevance, but the current WMSolutions facility page does not explicitly list appliances among routine accepted materials.
Customers should therefore verify current appliance drop-off options before bringing one to the facility.
Carpet & Carpet Padding
The old Lodi Transfer Station page listed carpet and carpet padding as an accepted material category and discussed recycling as a preferable option where available.
Carpet can be difficult to process because it may combine fibers, backing, adhesives and contamination.
Because current WMSolutions information does not specifically confirm carpet as a routine accepted category at Lodi Transfer Station, verify current requirements before hauling carpet or padding to the site.
Concrete Disposal
The archived facility page distinguished between two concrete categories.
Clean Concrete
Historical guidance defined clean concrete as concrete largely free from soil, organic material, chemicals and other contaminants. The old page noted that suitable clean concrete can sometimes be recovered for applications such as road base or aggregate.
Mixed Concrete
The archived page described mixed concrete as concrete combined with construction materials such as:
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
- Other demolition debris
Contaminated concrete can require different handling, especially where oil, chemicals or hazardous substances may be present.
The current WMSolutions listing does not explicitly identify concrete as part of everyday Lodi Transfer Station acceptance, so current requirements should be confirmed before delivery.
Furniture & Bulky Items
The archived Lodi page listed stuffed or upholstered furniture, including couches and chairs. It also encouraged reuse or donation when furniture remained in suitable condition.
Large furniture may not fit into a normal curbside cart and may therefore require:
- Bulky-item collection
- Donation or reuse
- A community cleanup program
- Self-haul disposal
The City of Lodi currently runs an annual curbside cleanup program for qualifying residents, although size, weight and excluded-material rules apply.
Customers planning to self-haul large furniture should verify normal transfer-station acceptance and charges first.
Metal & Mixed Metal
The archived facility page distinguished metal from mixed metal.
Pure-metal items are generally easier to recover because they consist primarily of a recyclable commodity, while mixed-material products can combine metal with:
- Plastic
- Rubber
- Wood
- Other components
Historical inclusion of metal on this facility page should be retained semantically, but current drop-off requirements should be verified before bringing large scrap-metal items.
Green Waste & Organic Material
The historical Lodi page included green/organic waste as an accepted-material entity and discussed materials such as:
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Tree trimmings
- Branches
- Food-related organic material
Current Lodi residential services include a separate organics stream as part of the local collection system, as reflected in WM’s 2026 Lodi collection materials.
Residents should therefore use their local organics program where appropriate rather than automatically transporting organic material to the transfer station.
Current everyday transfer-station acceptance for green waste should be confirmed directly because the WMSolutions profile presently only explicitly lists municipal solid waste.
Wood Waste
Several different wood categories appeared on the historical Lodi facility page.
Clean Wood
The archived resource described clean wood as untreated and unpainted material such as suitable lumber or pallets and noted that clean wood may be recoverable for uses such as mulch or fuel.
Painted or Stained Wood
Painted and stained wood appeared separately on the old page because coatings can affect how the material should be managed.
Treated Wood
Treated wood appeared in the historical not-accepted/special-handling portion of the page. The archived content warned that preservatives used in treated lumber can require different disposal procedures.
Because current acceptance is not confirmed for these individual wood streams, contact the facility or use the appropriate local disposal resource before hauling wood.

Historically Listed Materials
The archived Lodi Recycling Recovery and Transfer Station page included a much broader material directory than the current online WMSolutions profile.
Historically represented accepted-material entities included:
- Appliances with refrigerants
- Appliances without refrigerants
- Carpet and carpet padding
- Clean concrete
- Mixed concrete
- Upholstered furniture
- Mattresses and box springs
- Metal
- Mixed metals
- Recyclables
- Car tires
- Truck tires
- Green and organic waste
- Municipal solid waste
- Clean wood
- Painted wood
- Stained wood
Important: this historical list should not be interpreted as a guarantee of current everyday acceptance.
The present WMSolutions listing specifically confirms municipal solid waste and states that hazardous waste is not accepted. It advises customers to contact the facility for current receiving conditions and acceptable material types.
Historically Not Accepted or Special-Handling Materials
The archived page also included a broad Not Accepted section.
Historical examples included or discussed:
- Friable asbestos
- Non-friable asbestos
- Ash
- Biosolids
- Certain roofing materials
- Construction and demolition debris
- Mixed dirt or soil
- Oil filters
- Propane tanks and cylinders
- Sludge
- Solar panels
- Tractor tires
- Electronic waste
- Household hazardous waste
- Industrial and special waste
- Infectious or biohazardous waste
- Liquid waste
- Treated wood
Some of these historical categories may now be handled through separate special collection events rather than normal transfer-station operations. For example, current City of Lodi programs periodically collect e-waste and household hazardous waste at designated events.
This distinction helps avoid one of the biggest risks in expired-domain recovery: treating an old material taxonomy as a current disposal policy.
Construction & Demolition Debris
The old Lodi page contained construction-related material entities such as concrete, soil, wood and mixed debris, although its accepted/not-accepted taxonomy was not always internally consistent.
For current users, the important rule is simpler:
Do not assume a construction load will be accepted just because one component appeared on the historical page.
Large renovation and construction projects may be better served by an approved C&D facility or a temporary roll-off dumpster.
Current WM information also provides temporary dumpster service in Lodi for remodeling, construction, demolition and larger cleanup projects.
Dollar Dump Days
Lodi has historically offered a Dollar Dump Days program for eligible city residents.
Current City information describes an annual program in which qualifying single-family customers within city limits may bring a limited volume of refuse to the Lodi Transfer Station using a required voucher.
The program has its own restrictions and does not mean every material is eligible.
Current local guidance excludes certain materials from the Dollar Dump Days program, including hazardous materials and several heavy or specialized items.
Residents should use the current year’s voucher and program instructions rather than relying on previous-year rules.
Lodi Special Collection Events
The Lodi Transfer Station also functions as a community collection-event location.
City information for 2026 identifies special programs involving combinations of:
- E-waste
- Secure document shredding
- Tires
- Mattresses
- Household hazardous waste
- Compost giveaway
- Dollar Dump Days
These events demonstrate that the facility has a wider community role than ordinary trash transfer alone.
However, each special event has its own date, eligibility, quantity limits and accepted-material rules.
Internal Link: [Lodi Waste & Recycling Events]
Lodi Residential Waste & Recycling
The transfer station is only one part of Lodi’s waste-management system.
Current City information states that local services include residential and commercial garbage collection and recyclable-material collection.
Routine household waste should generally be handled through the appropriate curbside cart where possible.
Self-haul or special-program options become particularly useful when dealing with:
- Excess trash
- Major household cleanouts
- Bulky items
- Electronics
- Mattresses
- Tires
- Special waste
Commercial Waste Services in Lodi
Businesses can generate different waste volumes and material streams from residential properties.
Current WM and City information confirm commercial waste and recycling services in Lodi, with service options available for local businesses.
Commercial customers with large cleanouts, remodeling debris or higher-volume projects may need:
- Scheduled commercial collection
- Front-load containers
- Recycling service
- Temporary roll-off dumpsters
- Approved self-haul disposal
Businesses should confirm facility acceptance before transporting unusual or high-volume loads.
Disposal Fees and Payment
Lodi Transfer Station charges can depend on the type and volume of material.
An official WM gate-rate sheet available online lists a minimum transaction charge and separate rate structures for different waste categories, while noting that prices can change without notice.
There is also a discrepancy between historical/currently available documents regarding payment methods: the archived 2026 page said Mastercard and Visa were accepted while cash and checks were not, whereas an official WM rate sheet dated 2024 listed cash, cards and certain checks.
Because of this conflict, verify current payment methods before arriving rather than relying on either older document.
Safety at the Transfer Station
An official WM rate sheet instructs visitors that children under 14 must remain in the vehicle and prohibits smoking and scavenging. It also directs customers to stay close to their vehicle while unloading.
For a safer visit:
- Secure the load before driving.
- Keep children safely inside the vehicle where required.
- Follow employee directions.
- Stay within designated unloading areas.
- Do not scavenge materials.
- Keep hazardous or prohibited items separate.
- Wear suitable closed-toe footwear.
- Bring assistance when unloading heavy bulky items.
