Middle Ga Regional Solid Waste in Montezuma is where locals drop off household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Drivers from town and the surrounding county bring pickup loads, small trailers, and the occasional carload for cleanup projects. It’s a working, no-frills county solid waste site rather than a retail or recycling center.
Pull in from GA-49 and there's an entrance booth where people check in and handle whatever fees are required. A scale is usually part of the setup, so expect to stop on the way in or out. The recycling containers tend to sit just past the booth to one side, with larger piles and roll-off containers scattered across the yard. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, get backed up and there’s a steady stream of trucks and pickups throughout the day.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads pre-sorted and ready to move before you get to the booth - it makes the whole drop-off quicker.
- Bring tarps and tie-downs; loose yard debris and lightweight trash can blow around while driving in or on the yard.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible to avoid the weekend lines, and wear sturdy shoes and gloves for unloading.
