Richland Creek Road Landfill

Richland Creek Road Landfill on South Richland Creek Road in Buford is the local spot where trash is buried - a full-scale landfill, not a small drop-off. Residents and commercial haulers generally use places like this for final disposal, though accepted materials and fees are set by state and local authorities and can vary. From the road it looks industrial: wide dirt drives, tipping areas and the usual mounded cells in the distance.

Pull up to an entrance booth and you'll cross a scale nearby - fees at landfills are normally based on weight, so expect to be weighed going in and again on the way out. Follow the flow of trucks to the tipping pad; the work area is open and can be dusty or muddy depending on weather. Large equipment and roll-off trailers are commonly moving around, so give them space and watch for directional signage. Commercial loads are typically handled differently than household carloads, so have any relevant paperwork or load details ready if hauling for business.
