McGaughey Chapel Convenience Center

McGaughey Chapel Convenience Center at 819 McGaughey Chapel Rd is the small drop-off spot locals in Cohutta use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Neighbors swing by with pickup loads or a few bags rather than making a long trip to the landfill. Expect a low-key, functional site rather than a big transfer station.

Pull into the driveway off McGaughey Chapel Rd and follow the lane to the row of dumpsters and recycling bins; maneuvering is usually straightforward but allow room if someone else is unloading. Some convenience centers have a small booth or pay point near the entrance, and fees plus accepted materials vary by location, so be prepared for a possible charge. These sites are often minimally staffed or unstaffed, which means patrons typically sort and lift items themselves. Weekends-especially spring-cleanup weekends-can get backed up, so plan accordingly.
