SR247 MSW Landfill
SR247 MSW Landfill, 2080 GA Hwy 247, Kathleen, 31047, Georgia
SR247 MSW Landfill in Kathleen is the municipal solid waste landfill off GA Hwy 247. Residents and commercial haulers bring household and business trash here when it needs final disposal.
This is a large, industrial site with dirt roads, heavy equipment, and high piles of compacted material. There’s usually a scale and a small entrance/booth area - tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight or per load. Pull up to the scale, then proceed toward the active dumping area; expect to share the site with big rigs on most days. Lines often form on weekends and after big cleanup events, and conditions can be muddy or dusty depending on recent weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so debris doesn’t blow onto the highway or the access road.
- Bring gloves, a shovel and sturdy boots - the unloading area can be rough and sometimes requires a little manual shifting of material.
- Skip peak times if possible; weekend mornings and spring cleanup periods are when traffic and wait times spike, especially with commercial trucks in line.
