3033 S 63rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19153

(215) 685-4290

Small neighborhood drop-off for residential trash and recycling in Southwest Philadelphia. Folks from the immediate area use it for quick cleanups and yard waste runs, especially when hauling stuff that won't fit at the curb. The site sits on S 63rd Street and feels more like a municipal lot than a commercial transfer station.

The facility is the kind of place with a few roll-off containers and a low concrete curb to pull up to; it's not a giant landfill. Drive slowly into the lot, unload into the appropriate containers, and stack bulky items where workers or signage indicate - there may or may not be attendants on site. Weekends and spring cleanup can get crowded, so expect to wait behind pickups and trailers. Bring tools and gloves since there usually isn't staff help to wrestle mattresses or cut up branches.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and trash at home so unloading is faster and less awkward in the lane.
  • Bring ratchet straps or tarps for loose loads; wind and traffic can make unsecured stuff a headache.
  • Back a pickup or trailer in if possible-it's easier to pitch heavy items down than to lift them up from the street.
