Republic Services Suburban Transfer Station

Republic Services Suburban Transfer Station is a local transfer station in Yuma where residents and small haulers drop off trash to be compacted and sent on to a landfill. People from nearby neighborhoods use it when driving out to a distant landfill isn’t practical. The site handles short-term drop-offs rather than long-term disposal on site.

Drive up to an entrance booth and stop to check in; transfer stations like this commonly have a scale and charge by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in on the way in or out. The yard is mostly concrete ramps and compacting equipment, with large roll-off containers or pits where trucks empty loads. Vehicle flow can be tight, so pull into the lane indicated by attendants or signs and be ready to back up a short distance if instructed. There are usually separate areas for recycling or bulky items a little way inside the gate rather than mixed in with the main tipping area.
