Toombs County Landfill is the county dump out on Lyons Center Road where household and commercial material ends up buried. Locals, landscapers and haulers drop off loads here; it’s plainly a working landfill, not a tidy transfer station.
A drive-in entrance with a scale and a small gate/booth building marks the entry; trucks and trailers line up to be weighed and tipped. The site is large and open, with dirt roads, compacted trash piles and heavy equipment moving material around. Tipping fees are normally charged by weight or load at facilities like this, and commercial haulers commonly use the site. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have the longest lines, so plan for some waiting if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring secure tarps or straps for loose loads; wind can scatter debris on the approach road and county crews don’t appreciate drifts.
- Have a plan for where to pull off and back up - larger trucks need the room to turn near the scale and tipping face.
- Sort bulky items beforehand so unloading goes faster; mixed loads slow things down and mean multiple trips around the working area.
