Republic Services Sparta Transfer Station

Republic Services Sparta Transfer Station sits on Valley Steel Road in Sparta and handles both household and commercial loads. It’s a transfer station where trash is compacted on site and then hauled off to a larger landfill, so locals often use it instead of driving to a distant dump.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and a scale is commonly used at transfer stations, so expect to stop while vehicles are weighed. Pull-up lanes lead toward a tipping area with heavy equipment moving material into compactors; cars and small trailers usually have their own space to unload. The site looks industrial - concrete ramps, piles of material and big machinery are the norm. Weekends and spring cleanup season tend to get backed up, so allow extra time.
