Brent Road Landfill is the county landfill out on Old Brent Road used by residents and haulers from around Forsyth and the surrounding rural areas. It’s the place where things get buried rather than recycled or transferred, and both homeowner drop-offs and commercial trucks come through here.
Pull in past the entrance booth and you’ll see a large scale building where vehicles stop to be weighed; most customers are charged by weight, so expect to drive across the scale both in and out. The site is big - open cells and cover soil are visible from the drive - and trucks line up during busy times. There’s a clear flow: scale, tip area, then back across the scale to leave, and commercial loads are handled alongside residential traffic.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your trailer or truck securely covered or tied down; loose loads get messy and slow things down for everyone.
- Bring vehicle info or any paperwork the hauler might need handy since weights are recorded at the scale.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible - lines get longer during spring cleanup and nice-weather weekends.
