GFL Fairburn Transfer Station

GFL Fairburn Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Bohannon Road in Fairburn, used by residents and small haulers who need to drop off trash and construction-type loads that get compacted and sent to a landfill. It’s the kind of place people use when hauling a truckload is easier than trying to find a distant landfill.

Drive in toward the entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly; a scale is usually part of the process at transfer stations, so expect to see one on site. The yard looks industrial - concrete tipping areas, large bays and compacting equipment - and vehicles line up to unload into the pits. Pull-up pattern can feel a bit tight if there’s a backlog; weekends and spring cleanup times are when lines lengthen. After unloading the material is compacted and loaded into larger trucks to be hauled offsite.
