(615) 782-5500Republic Services AAA Transfer Station is a transfer station in Nashville that locals use when hauling household junk, yard debris, or construction debris they don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill for. The site handles loads brought in by residents and contractors, compacting material on-site before sending it out by truck.
Drive up to an entrance booth where staff will direct you to a lane for weighing or tipping; expect to pull up, stop, and follow their instructions. There is a large paved area with a tipping floor and compactors visible from the driving lanes, so trucks and trailers move slowly through the site. You will likely cross a scale at some point and be directed where to dump; after tipping, larger trucks get routed back out to the exit scale. Weekends and seasonal cleanups tend to produce longer lines, so traffic and wait times can vary.
