Tifton City Inert Landfill is the city-run landfill on Armour Street for burying inert material like construction debris and other non-putrescible fills. Locals and contractors swing by when they’ve got heavy, non-organic loads that need to be disposed of rather than recycled.
Drive in off Armour Street toward a small entrance booth and a scale where vehicles get weighed; tipping is handled by weight so vehicles usually stop twice. The site is a working landfill - open dirt cells, heavy equipment moving material, and piles of inert debris visible from the access road. Expect to be directed where to dump and then to reweigh on exit for the final charge. The overall scale is municipal rather than commercial landfill-sized, so traffic can bottleneck when contractors are dropping multiple loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp before arriving to keep material from blowing out during the short drive in and while waiting.
- Bring paperwork that identifies a commercial load if hauling for a business; municipal inert landfills commonly treat commercial deliveries differently than residential ones.
- Avoid weekend spring-cleanup rushes when possible - lines form and offloading can take longer when several trucks are waiting.
