Bacon Park Transfer Station on Skidaway Road is the local transfer station people in Savannah use when a trip to a distant landfill isn't practical. Neighbourhood homeowners and small contractors drop off compactable loads here so larger trucks can haul them out.
Drive in toward the entrance booth and be prepared to stop for directions and a stop on the scale; transfer stations normally weigh vehicles. The site is built for trucks and trailers, so expect big compactors, concrete tipping areas and the steady background of commercial trucks. Lines can form on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so there’s often a bit of queueing; bring something to keep items orderly in the bed while unloading. The layout is straightforward: pull up, unload to the appropriate pit or bin, then exit as directed.

Before You Go

- Load in a logical order so heavy stuff is nearest the tailgate for easier, safer unloading at the tip.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup periods tend to be the busiest and slowest times.
