Republic Services St Louis Transfer Station
71 Angelica St, St. Louis, MO 63147
(636) 947-5959Republic Services St Louis Transfer Station at 71 Angelica St in St. Louis is where local trash gets compacted and loaded onto larger trucks bound for a landfill. Neighbors and small haulers drop off household cleanouts and construction debris here when driving out to a distant landfill doesn’t make sense.
Pull up to a gate and stop at an entrance booth/scale-this place typically charges by weight so expect to cross the scale on the way in and again when leaving. The yard feels industrial: big trucks, the occasional clank of metal, and an open tipping area where loads are dumped into compactors. Recycling bins tend to sit off to the right just past the entrance, with the main drop-off lanes straight ahead. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose items; wind and passing trucks can send lightweight stuff flying.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible-mid-morning weekdays usually move faster than weekend afternoons.
- If hauling a trailer, have someone guide backing into the bay; the lanes are tight and visibility can be limited.
