Haralson County Landfill

Haralson County Landfill is the county dump out on Land Fill Road in Tallapoosa, the place locals use for big household cleanouts and contractor loads. Trucks, trailers and pickup crews show up here rather than hauling to a transfer station two counties over. It’s a working landfill - the final spot where trash and construction debris are buried.

Drive up to a weigh scale as you enter; vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. There’s an entrance booth and a gravel drive into an open, cleared site with piles and compacted cells visible across the yard. Commercial roll-offs and larger trucks are common, so lanes can be tight and the site feels industrial rather than neat and landscaped. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so hold on to loose items or tarps until it’s time to tip to avoid blowing debris.
