GFL Grady Road Landfill

GFL Grady Road Landfill is the big dirt-and-roller operation out on Grady Road in Rockmart that handles the final burial of municipal and commercial loads. Locals, landscapers and haulers all use it when trash or construction debris needs to go downhill and stay there. The place looks like a working landfill - heavy equipment, tall berms and a well-worn drive in and out.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop at the scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles typically weigh in and weigh out. The site is large - expect to see rolling cells, compactors and piles of cover material; big trucks move deliberately, so keep a safe distance. Residential and commercial loads are accepted at landfills like this, and commercial trucks are a regular sight. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have a line, while weekday mornings can be quieter.
