211 Landfill

211 Landfill in Winder is the county landfill where trash ends up being buried; both residents and commercial haulers use it. It’s the final stop for loads that can’t be taken to smaller drop-off sites, so expect a large-scale operation rather than a small transfer station.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees are based on weight, so vehicles usually stop twice, once in and once out. The property is expansive with large berms and active working faces; heavy equipment is moving material around, and trucks come and go. Pull up when directed by the booth attendant and follow the traffic flow to the unloading area; commercial loads are accepted but handled differently than single-vehicle residential drops. Expect a noisy, dusty environment with clear signs of long-term landfill operations rather than tidy recycling bins or compact transfer buildings.
