County solid waste site on Mine Loop that people from around Attapulgus use for dropping off household trash, yard debris and basic recycling. Modest, rural-feeling facility - not a big city transfer station, but the place locals go when clearing out a truck or trailer.
Drive in off 104 Mine Loop and follow the drivable lanes toward clusters of dumpsters and open drop-off pads. Recycling bins are often grouped together, with yard waste piles or separate containers nearby; household trash usually goes in larger compactor areas or roll-off boxes. Many rural county sites handle loads by vehicle type or by weight, so be prepared to stop and wait if there’s a scale or attendant at the entrance. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up and require some patience.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, metal, and yard waste at home so unloading is quicker and fewer trips around the site are needed.
- Secure loads with tarps or tie-downs before leaving home to prevent debris falling on the road and to make unloading safer.
- Bring work gloves, basic hand tools and a second pair of hands for heavy items; small trailers and pickups are easiest to empty with help.
