DeLand is the Volusia County seat, and the West Volusia Transfer Station on East New York Avenue is the local self-haul gate for west-side residents. The larger Tomoka Landfill sits closer to Port Orange, so DeLand households often use the transfer station for shorter weekday and Saturday trips. Flat rates for cars and pickups make small loads predictable, while tires and mixed loads follow separate county rules.
