Cedar Grove Landfill
Cedar Grove Landfill, 172 Roger Brown Drive, Barnesville, 30204, Georgia
Cedar Grove Landfill sits out on Roger Brown Drive in Barnesville and is the place trucks and pickups bring stuff to be buried. It’s a working landfill on a fairly large scale, and commercial haulers do use it; tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by load count.
Drive in past a small entrance booth and be ready to roll onto a scale-this is a weigh-in/weigh-out setup so stopping twice is normal. The site looks like a typical landfill: gravel drives, big compacted piles of material and heavy equipment moving around. Pull-up spots for trucks are obvious, but expect to wait if several haulers are in line. Signs point to where different trucks should go, and crews usually direct traffic around the working areas.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps; loose debris blowing off a truck slows everyone down and can get fined.
- Plan for delays on weekends and during spring cleanup-lines build up and it can take longer than a quick run to the dump.
- If hauling for a business, have vehicle registration or business paperwork handy and make sure loads are separated enough to unload quickly.
