Republic Services Bloomington Transfer Station

Republic Services Bloomington Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Washington Road people use when they don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. Residents and small haulers drop off household junk and compacted loads here before trucks ship it out of town. It's a practical stop for getting rid of a load without a long trip.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop; there is usually a scale somewhere in the process and vehicles may be weighed. The site looks like a working truck yard with compacting equipment and bays where loads are emptied, not a tidy recycling center. Pull up as directed by signs or attendants and follow the flow toward the unloading area; larger trucks and transfer trailers are common. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait.
