Republic Services of Union is the local disposal spot on W Main that handles household and small commercial loads for the Union area. Neighbors, landscapers and small haulers use it when regular curbside pickup won't cut it.
The site looks like a working transfer/disposal yard - drive past an entrance booth and then queue up to the drop-off area where trucks and trailers maneuver into bays. There’s usually a scale involved so vehicles stop more than once if weight is how they charge. Expect piles, compactors or roll-offs and a bit of dust and gravel underfoot; weekends and spring cleanup times are noticeably busier.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out while entering or waiting in line.
- Bring something sturdy to handle items - gloves, closed-toe shoes and durable bags make unloading easier and safer.
- Try arriving early on weekends or during spring cleanup to avoid long lines; know the length and turning radius of the vehicle so backing into bays is manageable.
