Waste Facility
Republic Services National Serv
2509 E Pontiac St, Fort Wayne, IN 46803
(260) 747-4117Republic Services National Serv is a local waste disposal facility on Fort Wayne's east side that accepts community trash drops. People hauling household junk, yard waste trailers, or pickup loads use this place when getting rid of larger amounts than curbside will take.
The site looks industrial - big paved drive lanes with concrete tipping areas and a small entrance booth where vehicles pause before pulling in. Trucks and trailers feed into larger bays or open tipping decks; expect to drive up, stop briefly at the booth/scale area, then be directed to the unloading spot. Recycling islands are usually set off to the side and there are piles or compactors beyond the tipping area, so be prepared for noise, dust, and a working-plant feel.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose items so nothing blows out while getting on or off the truck.
- Weekends, and especially spring cleanup times, get busy; earlier arrivals mean shorter lines and easier parking for trailers.
- Load the vehicle so heavy items are easy to pull out first - it speeds unloading and keeps the crew moving.
