Crisp County Landfill on U.S. Highway 41 S in Cordele is the county landfill where household and commercial trash gets buried. Locals and haulers bring oversized loads or anything not taken at the curb; it’s the place people head when a pickup truck full of stuff needs to go somewhere.
Pull in from the highway and there’s a small office/booth and a scale near the entrance where vehicles pause before heading into the working area. Many landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop on the way out to cross the scale again. The site looks like big dirt cells, piles of cover material and constant movement from loaders and dump trucks - dusty and noisy at times. Commercial loads are commonly handled at county landfills, though larger haulers may follow different procedures.
