R & B Landfill (Banks Landfill)

610 Bennett Road, Homer, GA 30547

800-963-4776

R & B Landfill (Banks Landfill) is the county landfill out on Bennett Road that handles the final burying of solid waste. Neighbors, contractors and anyone hauling larger loads use it when smaller drop-offs or convenience centers won’t do.

Drive in and you'll see a scale house near the entrance - tipping fees are handled by weight so expect to stop there. Trucks and trailers pull up, get weighed, then head to the active cell or slope to unload; this place is large and spread out rather than a compact transfer station. There’s a booth where staff take care of the paperwork and direct traffic, and recycling or drop-off containers, if present, are usually off to the side of the main traffic flow. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, with lines forming at the scale and slower movement on the tipping area.

Before You Go

  • Bring a strap or tarp to secure loads for travel and to keep material from blowing out in the line - loose trash can be a hassle at the scale.
  • Have an idea of how the truck will back into the tipping area; long trailers need more room and often have to circle back after weighing.
  • Plan for some waiting time: move slowly through the scale lane and keep documentation handy so the check-in goes smoothly.
