Gwinnett Transfer Station

Gwinnett Transfer Station in Lawrenceville is a local transfer station where residents drop off household and construction-type loads to be compacted and shipped out to a landfill. Neighbors and small contractors use it when hauling is easier than a long drive to a distant landfill. The site sits on Seaboard Industrial Drive and looks like an industrial lot rather than a neighborhood dump.

Drive up to a front entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly; transfer stations typically have staff at a gate or scale to log vehicles. The driveway leads into a fairly large paved area with compacting equipment and roll-off bays visible from the entrance. Recyclables and other containers are usually grouped to one side, with trucks and trailers maneuvering around the main drop-off area. Expect to pull up, unload into a hopper or bay, then drive back past the scale before leaving since weight-based charging is common at these sites.
