Norfolk Dump — SPSA Transfer Station Hours & Free Visits
Norfolk's public drop-off is SPSA's Norfolk Transfer Station at 3136 Woodland Avenue. Residents can dump household waste there free, up to 12 visits a calendar year, but only on weekends: Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m.
Bring proof of residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill, and come in a private vehicle: a car, SUV, passenger van, or pickup of 1-ton capacity or less, with a utility trailer up to 12 feet. Vehicles with business markings or ladder and pipe racks, and waste from rental properties, don't get free disposal. SPSA takes cards only, no cash or checks.
