Greenleaf C & D Landfill in Cumming is the kind of place contractors and homeowners hauling construction debris end up at when there’s nowhere else to drop it. A working landfill on Keith Bridge Road, it handles heavy loads and commercial trucks as well as smaller trailer drops.
Drive up to a simple entrance with a booth and a scale - vehicles are typically weighed so plan on stopping twice. The site is large and open, with rolling landfill faces and heavy equipment moving materials; trucks pull up, tip at a designated cell, then loop back to the scale. Loads are handled in an orderly flow but watch for gravel and ruts in the drive areas, especially after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busier, so lines at the entrance can form.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose material before hauling; anything that blows off will slow down unloading and can get flagged.
- Bring a vehicle that can handle gravel and uneven ground - low-clearance cars don’t do well in the tipping area.
- Allow extra time if bringing a commercial truck or trailer since larger loads take longer to weigh and tip.
