Landfill
City of Tifton / Omega / Eldorado Road Landfill
City of Tifton / Omega / Eldorado Road Landfill, 445 Mitchell Store Road, Tifton, 31794, Georgia
Small county landfill on Eldorado Road used by folks from Omega and nearby Tifton for household cleanouts and contractor drops. It’s a working dump - big trucks, dirt roads and open cells, not a tidy transfer station.
Drive past an entrance booth and a scale area where loads are weighed; most landfills charge by weight so expect to stop again on the way out. The site looks industrial - piles of cover dirt, compacted cells and hauling trucks maneuvering around. Staff will direct vehicles to where to tip, and there are usually smaller containers or bays for recyclables and special materials near the front. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, while weekday mornings tend to move faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down anything that can blow off during the haul - loose debris spreads quickly in the open areas.
- Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves and a shovel; surfaces are often muddy or uneven and unloading can be hands-on.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; buses of contractors and weekend cleanups cause the longest lines.
