Solid Waste Facility
Decatur County Solid Waste Facility
Decatur County Solid Waste Facility, 104 Mine Loop Road, Attapulgus, 39815, Georgia
This is the Decatur County Solid Waste Facility on Mine Loop Road in Attapulgus, the small county site people from town and nearby areas use for household trash, yard clippings, and similar cleanups. It’s a no-frills place-county-sized rather than a big commercial transfer station.
Drive up to a single entrance with a small booth and a scale; plan to stop there first. The yard is mostly gravel with roll-off containers and piles visible from the road, so expect dust and some uneven ground underfoot. Vehicles usually get weighed, move to a drop-off area, then pass the scale again before leaving. Weekends fill up quickly, especially during spring cleanup season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp and straps so leaves and yard debris don’t blow out on the road.
- Sort bulky items and likely recyclables in the truck bed before pulling in to speed unloading.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves - the ground is rough and things can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather.
