Dawson County Transfer Station

Dawson County Transfer Station on Burt Creek Road in Dawsonville is the local drop-off spot where household loads get compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. Folks use it when hauling a truck or trailer and don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It's a plain county site - nothing fancy, just functional for getting rid of big loads.

Drive to 946 Burt Creek Rd and look for the entrance area and a small booth where traffic is checked; many transfer stations also have a scale nearby so expect a brief stop. After that, vehicles usually move to a tipping area or compactor space to unload - backing a trailer or truck bed up is common. The lot has an industrial feel with large containers and haul trucks moving around, so watch for traffic and keep a safe distance. Weekends and spring cleanup periods often bring lines, so plan for possible waits.
