Shoal Creek Solid Waste Center

Shoal Creek Solid Waste Center is Lavonia’s local spot for dropping off household trash, yard waste, and recyclables; small haulers from around the county use it too. It sits at 401 Rocky Ford Rd, easy to find off the main roads into town and used by residents who need a one-stop place for general household disposal.

Expect a typical county solid waste setup with an entrance where vehicles pull up to check in and larger containers and piles for different materials beyond that. There’s usually a weighed-entry process at facilities like this, so plan to stop at the booth and possibly at a scale before leaving. The site looks like a working lot-gravel or paved drives, roll-off containers, stacks of yard debris, and separate bins for recyclables and bulk items. Weekends and spring cleanup weekends get busy and there can be a line of trucks and pickups waiting to unload.
