Republic Services Quickway Transfer Station is a local transfer station in the Bridesburg/South Philadelphia area that most residents and small haulers use to drop off loads instead of driving out to a landfill. It's the sort of place where cars, pickups, and small rolloffs queue up and waste gets compacted and trucked out for final disposal.

Pull up to an entrance booth or gate and be prepared to wait in line if it's busy; weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the heaviest. There's usually a scale you go over at some point and staff will direct traffic to the tipping floor or compactor area. The site looks industrial-concrete pads, big doors, and piles of collected material-so dress for dust and noise. Recycling or drop-off containers are often off to one side, with larger commercial trucks operating around the main drop area.

Before You Go

  • Bring straps or a tarp to secure loose material-wind and passing trucks can toss debris around and crews sometimes refuse uncovered loads.
  • Have your load organized before getting to the booth so unloading is faster; separate bulky items from loose debris when possible.
  • Plan for delays on weekend mornings and holidays; arriving midweek or mid-afternoon usually means a shorter wait.
