Colquitt County Landfill

Colquitt County Landfill is the county dump out on Shade Murphy Road in Moultrie, used by residents hauling home cleanup and by trucks dropping larger loads. It’s a proper landfill - the final place trash is buried rather than recycled or transferred. Many folks from town come here when pickup won’t take their bulk or construction debris.

You drive up to an entrance booth and usually cross a scale before getting to the tipping area; tipping fees are charged by weight or volume at landfills like this, so expect to stop on the way out for a second weigh-in. The site is open-air with working faces of compacted trash and cover soil piled nearby; trucks and trailers pull up to a sloped bay or flat spot to dump. Recycling or roll-off containers are often off to one side, and you’ll see heavy equipment around - do watch for loaders and compactors. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait if several pickups or contractors are there.
