Republic Services Green Tech Transfer & Recycling Facility

Republic Services Green Tech Transfer & Recycling Facility is a recycling center in South Bend used by residents and small haulers looking to keep recyclables out of local landfills. Neighbors swing by with bags and small loads from household cleanouts and curbside collection.

Drive up to a manned entrance booth and be prepared to pull up slowly - larger operation with a scale and transfer area a short way in. The recycling bins and drop-off points are usually off to the right past the entrance lane, with bigger roll-off areas and a covered tipping floor beyond that. Expect to see piles of baled cardboard and sorted containers, plus trucks coming and going; traffic can pick up on weekends and during spring cleanup. The site focuses on common curbside recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals, and sometimes runs special drop-off programs for bulk items.
