City of Griffin Landfill

A working municipal landfill on the south side of Griffin, where locals and haulers bring the stuff that ends up buried. People use it for household cleanouts and larger truck loads from contractors; it's the final stop for material that can't be dropped at convenience centers.

Drive up the access road and you’ll pass a scale house where trucks usually stop to be weighed before and after unloading. The site is large-long access roads and rolling mounds of cover dirt and compacted trash are visible from the entrance. Pull up to the tipping area when directed, drop off, then return over the scale for the outbound weigh; tipping fees are charged by weight and there’s typically a structure for residential versus commercial loads. Expect to see heavy equipment like compactors and dozers working the cells and dusty gravel lots rather than paved staging areas.
