Solid Waste Facility

Atlanta Solid Waste Services Bureau

55 Trinity Ave SW #4700, Atlanta, GA 30303

(404) 330-6240

A city-run solid waste facility in downtown Atlanta that handles general household trash, recycling and yard debris. People from the neighborhood and contractors both drop off material here for disposal or recycling. It’s the kind of place visited when hauling a truckload or clearing out the garage.

Expect a municipal setup with a staffed entry point and lanes for different drop-offs; vehicles pull up to a booth and are directed where to go. There will be tipping areas or collection points and commonly recycling containers set off to one side of the main flow. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines and slow-moving traffic, so anticipate some wait time. The site sits in the city center so access is by paved roads and larger vehicles should plan their route through downtown streets.

Before You Go

  • Have materials separated in the truck or trailer-loose mixed loads take longer to unload and direct you to multiple drop points.
  • Bring straps or tarps to secure items; loose debris can blow around and makes unloading messier and slower.
  • Aim to arrive early on weekend mornings to avoid the longest lines, and know the size of the vehicle to avoid tight turns in the yard.
