Lamar County Landfill in Barnesville is the local place where household and commercial trash ends up for burial. Folks from around the county bring bulky loads and construction debris here, and truck traffic is common. The site is a working landfill with a scale and tipping fees based on weight.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and stop at the scale-vehicles are weighed in and out so charges are calculated by weight. After the booth there's a pull-through area where trucks and trailers line up to tip; larger commercial loads are handled but expect to share the lane with roll-off trucks and pickups. The active tipping face and cover soil areas are visible from the drive; it’s dusty and industrial-looking rather than landscaped. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to be off to one side near the entrance area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose debris-wind can blow lightweight material during transit through the site.
- Allow extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup; vehicle lines and scale wait times increase noticeably.
- Have your load organized so heavy items are together and easy to toss-it speeds the tip and keeps traffic moving.
