Republic Services of Savannah in Ellabell is the local drop-off point for household and small commercial loads along US-280. Neighbors use it for routine trash runs, yard debris, and construction-type leftovers when hauling a load themselves.
The site looks like a typical transfer/disposal yard with a small entrance booth and a drive-up scale near the entrance; expect to slow down and stop there. Vehicles pull into lanes that lead to tipping areas and large open containers or bays, so bring a truck or trailer that can maneuver a bit. Most users are weighed, meaning a stop on the scale happens both coming and going. The lot is mostly gravel and pavement, with large roll-off containers and piles of material visible from the road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before arriving; loose debris can blow out and create extra mess to deal with on-site.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends when lines get long and wait times increase.
- Bring identification or proof of residence if needed for residential access, and have materials separated as much as possible for quicker unloading.
