Taylor County Inert Landfill in Butler is the local place where loads get buried rather than recycled or transferred. People hauling household cleanups, contractors with inert construction debris, and local businesses drop loads here. It’s the final stop for material that needs to be landfilled, not a drop-off for curbside recycling.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth, so plan to slow down and stop to be weighed. Vehicles pull up to the tipping area where crews push and compact material into the working face; the site feels large and open with long, graded mounds. Trucks and trailers are common, and lines can form on weekends or during seasonal cleanups. Look for clearly marked drive paths and expect to back into a dumping spot if hauling from a trailer.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tarp and secure loads before leaving home so loose material doesn’t blow out on the road or at the site.
- Try to visit midweek or early in the morning to avoid weekend backups, especially during spring cleanup season.
- If bringing construction debris, keep it separated and boxed where possible and be prepared for inspections - Georgia has specific rules for construction materials.
