City Of Griffin Solid Waste Services
236 Emlet Dr, Griffin, GA 30223
(770) 229-6421City Of Griffin Solid Waste Services is the local solid waste drop-off for residents around Griffin. Neighbors bring household trash, yard debris and recyclables here, and it sits just off Emlet Drive near other light industrial spots.
Drive in from Emlet Drive and pull up to the entrance area where there’s a clear point to stop before proceeding into the yard. The site is an open, working lot with piles and containers visible from the drive; vehicles maneuver around compactors and roll-off bins. Expect to slow down and line up if others are there, especially on weekends or during seasonal cleanups. Recycling and yard waste containers tend to be grouped together to the side, while general trash is toward the back of the property.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose debris; it makes unloading much quicker and keeps the truck bed from scattering trash.
- Load similar items together so they can be dropped in the correct container without reshuffling at the site.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible-the line can stretch out and add significant wait time during spring cleanups.
