A neighborhood transfer station where local trash and recycling trucks, plus residents with loads, drop off their stuff to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Folks in Lithonia use it when hauling more than the curb will handle or when a landfill drive would be too far.
There’s an entrance lane with a small booth and a scale nearby where vehicles are often weighed, so plan for a short stop before and after dumping. The site is big and industrial-looking: concrete bays, a tall compactor/transfer building, and room for trucks to turn around. Pull slowly into the lanes and wait for the green light or directions from the attendant before backing to a tipping bay. Lines get longer on weekends and during yard-cleanup season, so expect to idle in a queue at busy times.

- Secure loads with tarps or straps so nothing blows out while driving and so unloading is quicker.
- Bring a helper for heavy or awkward items; the tipping bays are high and lifting alone is tricky.
- Sort bulky things at the truck before getting to the booth to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.
