(770) 947-2577GFL WesTransfer Station in Douglasville is a local transfer station where trucks and residents drop off trash that gets compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors use it when hauling household junk, construction debris, or yard waste and don’t want to drive a long way to a landfill. The site sits on Veterans Memorial Hwy and looks like a working industrial lot rather than a tidy recycling center.
There’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up; staff at the booth will direct vehicles where to go next. The yard is relatively large with piles and compactors, so expect heavy equipment and big trucks moving around. Vehicles usually have to back into drop areas or platforms to empty loads, so give big rigs space and watch for traffic flow. Lines build on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait if arriving then.
