Get Directions

Old Dixie Highway MSW Landfill sits off Old Dixie Highway S.E. in Dalton and is where municipal solid waste from the area ends up - homeowners and haulers both use it. It’s a large, working landfill with heavy equipment and long, compacted cells visible from the approach. Landfills of this scale typically accept residential and commercial loads, and tipping fees are commonly charged by weight or per load.

The setup is functional rather than fancy: expect an entrance area with a weigh station or booth and a short drive in to the active dumping face. Pull in slowly since loaders and haul trucks move around; backing a trailer to the drop point is often required. Loads are commonly glanced over before directing drivers where to dump, then back to the scale to finish the visit. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are normal at those times.

Before You Go

  • Cover and tie down loose material so wind or passing trucks don’t scatter debris during the drive in and out.
  • Bring basic tools and gloves to cut straps, shift a tarp, or break down bulky items before backing into the dumping area.
  • Aim for a midweek morning if possible - fewer contractors then and usually shorter lines than weekends or peak cleanup periods.
