Republic Services of Athens Transfer Station

Republic Services of Athens Transfer Station is the local spot where household trash and loads from haulers get compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. Locals and small contractors drop stuff here instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill; it's the kind of place most people use when cleaning out a garage or doing yard work.

Pull in to a gated entrance and slow down at the booth where attendants direct traffic. Vehicles typically cross a scale and then move to open tipping bays or a roll-off area to unload; the big compactor and transfer containers are hard to miss. Expect the site to be noisy, dusty, and a bit industrial-looking with concrete pads and metal ramps. Weekends and spring cleanup times often see lines, so be prepared to wait if it’s busy.
