(229) 924-3669GFL Americus Transfer Station is a local transfer station in Americus where trash and larger loads are dropped off, compacted, and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors and small contractors use it when hauling items that would be a long drive to a landfill. It’s the kind of place people use when a single pickup load or household cleanout won’t fit in curbside service.
Drive past a small entrance booth and follow the traffic flow toward the tipping area; there’s usually a scale or weigh point in the entry/exit path so expect to slow down. The site is industrial - big roll-off containers, a concrete tipping floor, and compacting equipment are visible from the lanes. Pull up to the assigned unloading spot and prepare to unload onto the floor or into a container; vehicles typically need to back or angle in depending on the lane. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get busy, so there may be a line of trucks and trailers waiting to get in.
