Broadhurst Environmental Landfill
Broadhurst Environmental Landfill, 4800 Broadhurst Road West, Screven, 31560, Georgia
Broadhurst Environmental Landfill sits on Broadhurst Road West in Screven and is where trash gets buried rather than recycled or hauled off-site. Residents, local contractors and hauling trucks all go there when something needs to be disposed of long-term.
Drive up to a gated entrance with a scale near the booth; many landfills charge by weight so plan to stop on the way in and again when you leave. After the gate you’ll pull into a short lane and then be directed to a dumping pad or cell, with heavy equipment and compacted dirt roads throughout the site. The place is broad and exposed-dust in dry spells and muddy ruts after rain-and work zones can be noisy. Weekends, especially during seasonal cleanups, tend to back up with trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loose loads so debris doesn’t fly off on the drive in or while on site.
- Wear boots and gloves; there’s often loose trash, nails and uneven ground where items are unloaded.
- Leave extra time if hauling a big or commercial load-scales and large trucks slow the line, so expect delays.
