Republic Services Clinton Transfer Station

Republic Services Clinton Transfer Station sits out on Rural Route 1/Commerce Street in Clinton and is where local residents and haulers drop off trash that gets compacted and shipped to a landfill elsewhere. It’s the kind of place people use when they don’t want to drive all the way to a big landfill. Expect a low-key, industrial feel rather than anything fancy.

Pull into a fenced yard with large containers and heavy equipment; many transfer stations have an entrance lane with a booth or scale where loads are checked and weighed. Vehicles often back into a pit or bay to unload before material is compacted into larger trucks. There’s truck traffic, so move slowly and follow the flow - cones and signs usually direct where to go. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan accordingly.
