Dougherty County Fleming/Gaissert Road Landfill
Dougherty County Fleming/Gaissert Road Landfill, 900 Gaissert Road, Albany, 31705, Georgia
Dougherty County Fleming/Gaissert Road Landfill is the county landfill out on Gaissert Road that folks from Albany and nearby areas use for household and larger loads. It’s a big, outdoor site where everything gets buried rather than processed on site, and both residential drop-offs and commercial haulers show up here.
Expect a small entrance booth and traffic lining up on busy days; county landfills commonly have a scale so plan to stop to be weighed and then stop again when you leave. Tipping fees are usually charged by weight or by load size, and commercial loads are typically handled separately and billed differently than residential trips. The site is mostly dirt, heavy equipment moving around, and piles or cells of compacted material; it can be dusty and smelly at times, so keep vehicle windows up while waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp and straps so nothing blows out on the road or at the site; loose debris slows everyone down.
- Try to come on a weekday morning if possible-weekends and spring cleanup season tend to have the longest lines.
- Bring help for heavy items and be prepared to back into a drop area; wear clothes and shoes that can handle mud and dust.
