Transfer Station
Union County Transfer Station
348 Deep South Farm Rd, Blairsville, GA 30512
(706) 439-6102Small county transfer station in Blairsville where locals drop off household junk, yard waste, and contractor hauls before trucks take it on to a landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it more than big commercial carriers, so it feels like a working, no-frills place.
Drive up a short lane to an entrance point with a small booth and a wider area where trucks maneuver. The site looks industrial-big concrete bays, compacting equipment, and piles of materials rather than landscaped grounds. Expect to wait behind other vehicles at busy times, and be prepared to back into a bay or pull up to a scale if directed. It’s the sort of spot where things get noisy and dusty on windy days.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps so loose materials don’t blow off while driving; more than one neighbor has had to resecure a load on the side road.
- Sort loads ahead of time as much as possible-keep metals, bulky items, and mixed trash separated to save time when it’s your turn.
- Plan for weekends and spring cleanup to be crowded; arriving early in the day usually moves you through faster and makes backing into bays easier.
