Republic Services Poplar Level Transfer Station

Republic Services Poplar Level Transfer Station is a transfer station in Louisville where local residential and small commercial loads get compacted and sent off to a landfill. Neighbors drop off things they don’t want hauling all the way to a rural dump, especially when a big cleanout or yard work happens.

A small entrance booth and scale are right at the driveway, so plan to slow down and stop before pulling into the main yard. Vehicles pull up to an unloading area where dumpsters and a tipping floor are visible; this is where loads are emptied and compacted into larger transfer trailers. The site looks industrial - big concrete pads, metal chutes, and heavy trucks coming and going - so expect noise and some diesel smell. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have a line, while weekday mid-mornings tend to be quieter.
