Charlton County Transfer Station on GA-94 in St. George is where locals drop off household junk and smaller loads that get compacted and hauled out to a landfill. People from around the county and small haulers use it because it’s closer than driving to a distant landfill.
Expect a small entrance booth and a scale; many transfer stations charge by weight, so there may be a stop on the way in and again on the way out. Drive up to the booth, then follow the flow of traffic toward the tipping area where trucks and compactors operate. The site feels like an industrial yard-large containers, heavy equipment, and dusty surfaces when trucks are moving. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be prepared to wait at busy times.

Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads with a tarp or straps so loose items don’t blow out during the drive or make unloading slower.
- Sort things ahead of time into roughly separate piles (recyclables, large bulky items, loose bagged trash) to speed unloading and reduce confusion.
- Avoid peak times if possible-weekends and spring cleanup season get backed up; bringing help and gloves makes handling heavy or awkward items easier.
