Republic Services Lee Transfer Station

Republic Services Lee Transfer Station in Austell is a local transfer station where household and small contractor loads get compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors drop off things they don't want hauling all the way to a remote landfill, or when a quick trip to a closer site is more convenient than long drives.

Drive into 7120 Delta Cir and you'll see a small entrance booth and a scale-this type of site typically charges by weight so expect to stop twice. Vehicles pull up to the attendant at the booth first, then proceed to the tipping area where trucks or compactors are set up. The site is industrial-looking: concrete pads, large roll-up doors, and piles or bays where trucks back in. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so there may be a line to get to the tipping area.
