Macon City Landfill

Macon City Landfill is the city landfill on 11th Street that handles the final burial of municipal and commercial trash for the Macon area. Locals, contractors with truckloads, and people clearing out houses use this place when trash can’t go to a curbside pickup or drop-off site.

Drive up the road to a single entrance with an attendant booth and a scale a short distance in; trucks normally stop to be weighed before and after dumping. The site is large - expect rows of compacted trash mounds, working equipment like bulldozers and roll-offs, and dusty access roads rather than paved lanes everywhere. Commercial loads are accepted here, and tipping fees are charged by weight or load size, so big trucks take longer to process than a small pickup. Weekends and spring cleanup bring a line of vehicles, and wind can blow loose debris around on windy days.
