Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Clayton County Landfill is the county landfill out on Hastings Bridge Road near Hampton, used by local residents, haulers, and contractors hauling final-disposal loads. People bring everything here that needs burial rather than drop-off recycling or transfer service. The site handles larger-volume municipal and commercial traffic as well as residential trips.
A gate/scale booth greets vehicles and most people stop there first; the facility charges tipping fees by weight and has a fee structure with residential minimums and commercial rates. After the booth, expect gravel roads, heavy equipment working cells and piles, and directional signage pointing to the active dumping area; drivers are usually waved into place to unload. Trucks and trailers are common, and weekends or seasonal cleanups can slow traffic. The scale is often crossed on both entry and exit so weight is recorded for billing.
