Advanced Disposal in Toccoa is the local disposal site on Carolina Drive where residents and small haulers drop off household and yard refuse. It’s a working lot rather than a public park, used by anyone who needs to get rid of ordinary trash and bulky items.
Pull in off Carolina Drive onto an industrial-style driveway and follow the lane toward the open tipping area; there’s usually a small entrance point with a place to stop briefly. A vehicle scale is common at these kinds of sites, so expect to slow down and possibly stop to be weighed before or after dumping. The lot looks like a gravel or paved pad with several piles or containers for different materials and a few lanes for trucks and pickups to maneuver. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines and some waiting are typical.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and tarps before driving in; loose debris can blow out and create extra cleanup time.
- Load the truck or trailer so it’s easy to tip or hand off-heavy stuff near the cab and lighter items toward the tailgate makes unloading quicker.
- Go during weekday mornings if possible; peak times are usually weekends and public cleanup events, which add to wait times.
