(260) 747-4117Republic Services Auburn Transfer Station sits just off County Road 47 in Auburn and is where local residents bring their household and yard debris instead of driving out to a distant landfill. Folks from around town stop here with trailers or pickup loads to drop things off before larger trucks haul it away. The place mainly sees neighborhood cleanouts, construction leftovers, and routine household junk.
Drive in to a clearly marked entrance and look for an attendant booth and a scale area typical of transfer stations. Pull up as directed and be prepared to move to a concrete tipping floor or bay where materials are consolidated and compacted into larger trucks. Expect the site to be industrial - big trucks, compactors, and the smell and noise that come with them - so dress accordingly. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually have longer lines and more traffic around the drop-off points.
