Waste Facility
Clayton County Recyling Center
1430 GA-138 Spur,, 1430 GA-138 Spur, Jonesboro, GA 30238
(770) 473-5470Small, practical place in Jonesboro where locals bring household and yard trash as well as recyclables. Neighbors, contractors and anyone hauling loads use it; it looks like the typical county recycling/transfer spot rather than a retail center.
A drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a scale for vehicles is common at facilities of this type, so plan for a short stop to be weighed. There are concrete pads and open bays for dumping, with piles or containers visible from the drive lane. Pull up slowly and follow the flow of traffic - larger trucks and trailers need more room to maneuver. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines and waiting are normal then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps so nothing blows out while driving to the site and while waiting in line.
- Bring a vehicle that can back up and dump easily; tight turns and limited space make maneuvering with a trailer trickier.
- Try a weekday morning if possible - lines are shorter and it’s easier to find a spot close to the drop-off areas.
