Chesser Island Landfill

Chesser Island Landfill is the county landfill just south of Folkston where household trash and commercial loads end up getting buried. Locals and small haulers use it when curbside pickup won’t take something or during big cleanouts. It’s a rural, working site - not a recycling center or drop-off convenience site.

Drive in off Chesser Island Road to a small entrance area with an attendant booth and traffic flow to the active cells; you’ll likely drive over a scale since landfills like this typically charge by weight and have a minimum tipping fee. The site is large and mostly open - compacted berms, heavy equipment, and rows of older fill visible from the drive lanes. After the booth, follow the signs or attendants to the current dumping face; vehicles often queue up on busy days, especially weekends and spring cleanups.
