CWD Transfer Facility at 170 Imperial Mill Rd in Eatonton is the small transfer station locals use when they don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. The site compacts loads and hauls them off to a landfill elsewhere, so it's mostly for dropping off household and yard debris rather than long hauls.
There’s usually a small entrance booth and a scale near the drive-in, so expect to stop there before heading to the tipping area; many transfer stations charge by weight. Pull up to the booth, then follow the flow of traffic to the concrete tipping floor or roll‑off containers where trucks unload and compactors do their work. The place is noisy and a bit industrial - heavy equipment, clanging, and dust - and recycling containers are often set off to one side. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, get backed up, so lines and wait times increase.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp and secure them so debris doesn’t blow out on the way; loose trash makes extra work and can get you delayed.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves; the tipping area can be muddy, dusty, and has sharp bits on the ground.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible-weekends and seasonal cleanups have the longest lines.
