Waste Facility
Atkinson County
Atkinson County - SR 50 MSWL, 64 Author Davis Drive, Willacoochee, 31650, Georgia
Atkinson County's SR 50 facility in Willacoochee is the county disposal site for folks around here. Located on Author Davis Drive, it’s what people use when hauling household trash or larger items out of town.
Pull in off Author Davis Drive and stop at the small entrance booth or office before driving further into the site. There’s a short pull-up area where trailers and trucks line up; recycling bins are often off to the right and larger containers or piles sit farther in. The ground is mostly gravel and dirt, so expect dust, some mud after rain, and the sight of trucks working the site. Payment and check-in happen at that booth, so be prepared to stop there either before or after unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with tarps or straps - wind and passing vehicles can scatter debris from an open bed.
- Wear boots or clothes you don't mind getting dusty or muddy; the lot picks up grime quickly.
- If towing a trailer, use the pull-up area to straighten out before backing into a drop spot; it saves time and frustration.
