Camden Solid Waste Landfill
2273 GA-110, Folkston, GA 31537
Camden Solid Waste Landfill is the final place where trash gets buried for the Folkston area; people from both households and businesses drop off larger loads here. It's a full-scale landfill off GA-110 that handles the kinds of heavy or bulky debris a curbside pickup won't take.
Expect a big site with drive-up lanes and an entrance booth and a scale - most landfills charge tipping fees by weight or volume, so there’s usually a weigh-in and a weigh-out. Drive slowly through the gate, pull up to the booth or scale, then follow signs to the working face where trucks dump. The site looks industrial: compacted dirt roads, pushed-up berms, and heavy equipment nearby; recycling bins, if present, tend to be off to one side.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads for the trip over; loose debris blows off on the highway and can get fined or cause extra clean-up.
- Have the heaviest pieces ready to unload first so the scale reflects the correct weight and unloading goes faster.
- Avoid weekend mornings in spring and early summer when residential cleanup tends to back up traffic; midweek afternoons are often quieter.
