Republic Services Akron Recyclery Transfer Station

Republic Services Akron Recyclery Transfer Station at 964 Hazel St in Akron is a neighborhood recycling center where residents and local haulers drop off sorted recyclables. It’s the kind of place used for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metal-those are the common items handled at centers like this. Expect a no-frills, industrial lot rather than a retail-style drop-off.

Pull into a lane and look for an entrance booth or office; transfer stations often have a scale and traffic control, so plan for a brief stop. Drop-off areas are typically grouped by material, with large metal containers or bays where people unload and move on. The site feels industrial - concrete pads, big containers and the occasional heavy equipment in motion - and lines can build up on weekends or during spring cleanup. Bring a vehicle setup that makes unloading easy, since maneuvering around other trucks is common.
