Waste Facility
Cedar Creek Collection Center
15 Cedar Creek Rd, Cartersville, GA 30121
(770) 387-5145Cedar Creek Collection Center in Cartersville is the local spot for dropping off household and small community waste. Neighbors bring trailers, pickup loads, and the odd bag of trash here when doing cleanup around the yard or house.
Pull into a paved lot off Cedar Creek Road and follow the traffic flow toward visible drop-off points and a small office or booth near the entrance. Trucks and trailers are common, so expect slow-moving vehicles and people sorting items at the edge of containers. The site feels like a practical county collection point rather than a polished commercial transfer station, with open bins and a functional layout for moving loads in and out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose loads before driving in so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting.
- Bring work gloves and something to help lift or slide heavy items - ramps and edges can be awkward.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible; weekdays or early mornings usually mean shorter lines and easier access.
