Acworth Transfer Station

5497 N Main St, Acworth, GA 30101

800-963-4776

A plain, working transfer station on North Main that locals use when the landfill is too far to drive. Trucks drop and compact loads here before hauling them off, so most visitors are residents with household cleanouts or contractors with mixed debris.

Drive up to an entrance booth and prepare to speak with the attendant or show proof of residency; the driveway funnels you past that point. The site is mostly concrete bays and a few large containers, with machinery and compactors visible in the back. Pull-up lanes are wide enough for pickup trucks and small trailers, but maneuvering can feel tight when bigger commercial trucks are present. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so expect slow-moving traffic through the site during those busy stretches.

Before You Go

  • Bring a form of ID or proof of residency - most locals get asked for it at the gate.
  • Load small loose items into bins or boxes before unloading so nothing blows around; tarps and tie-downs help keep trailers compliant and tidy.
  • Avoid peak times if possible - weekday mornings or late afternoons usually move faster than weekend mid-days.
