(215) 743-2508Republic 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.

There's usually a scale you go over at some point and staff will direct traffic to the tipping floor or compactor area.

Recycling or drop-off containers are often off to one side, with larger commercial trucks operating around the main drop area.
