Bankhead C&D Transfer Station

Bankhead C&D Transfer Station in Mableton is the kind of place contractors and homeowners head to when a truckload of construction debris needs offloading. It handles construction and demolition material that gets compacted and sent on to a landfill, so it's more convenient than making a long haul out of town.

The site is set up like a working yard - expect a drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a traffic flow that funnels vehicles toward the tipping area. There’s usually a scale involved for measuring loads, so vehicles often stop twice: once in and once on the way out. The tipping floor and compacting equipment are visible from the drive lane, and recycling or drop-off bins tend to sit off to the side of the main area. Weekends and spring cleanup times are busier, with lines of trucks and trailers waiting their turn.
