Small-to-mid sized Republic Services disposal site in northeast Fort Wayne, used by residents and local haulers dropping off household and bulk trash. Located on MacBeth Road, it’s the kind of place people swing by for regular cleanup runs or spring projects.
The entrance has an obvious drive-in with a booth or gate area where vehicles usually stop before moving on; expect to pull up and wait your turn. A vehicle scale is commonly present at this type of disposal facility, so plan for a short pause to be weighed if that’s how they charge. The site itself is industrial-paved lanes, large roll-off areas and piles or containers set back from the entrance-so watch for heavy equipment and trucks moving around. Weekends and early evenings often have the longest lines, while midday weekdays are generally quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items in pickups or trailers with a tarp or straps so nothing blows out while driving and unloading.
- Have a clear path to the truck bed or trailer; unloading is faster when the load is accessible and not jammed in tight.
- Avoid peak times if possible-Saturday mornings and late afternoon neighborhood cleanup hours tend to be busiest.
