Transfer Station
Republic Services Modern Transfer Station
35 N Frontage Rd, Osage Beach, MO 65065
(573) 346-3637Republic Services Modern Transfer Station in Osage Beach is the local transfer station where household and small commercial loads are compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors and contractors use it when hauling stuff is easier than driving out to a distant dump.
Expect the typical transfer-station setup rather than a small drop-off: an entrance area with a pay/checkout booth and a scale to weigh loads, so vehicles will need to pull up, be weighed, and then back in to unload. The site is fairly industrial-looking - big bays, compactors, and heavy trucks moving around - so take care when driving through. Weekend mornings and seasonal cleanup times commonly get busy, with lines that can stretch out to the frontage road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose trash and cover loads; wind on the highway can make a mess and staff will want things contained.
- Bring a proper vehicle for backing into the unloading bay - trailers and pickup beds are common, and maneuvering space is limited.
- Go earlier in the day on weekends or aim for weekday afternoons if possible to avoid the longest lines.
