Waste Management - Cartersville Transfer Station

125 Riverside Dr SW, Cartersville, GA 30120

(678) 792-7000

Small transfer station on the river side of Cartersville that locals use when they don’t want to drive all the way to a landfill. Mostly residential drop-offs and pickup trucks showing up with trailers and bags.

Pull up to an entrance booth area where trucks queue before getting close to the compaction building. There’s a scale and a second stop on the way out for weighing, so plan a short wait even if the line moves fast. The site looks industrial-concrete pads, big roll-off containers, and a compacting area-so expect dust and loose debris on the ground. Recycling bins are often off to one side and traffic is mostly one-way through the yard.

Before You Go

  • Tie down tarps and secure loose materials so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
  • Bring gloves, closed-toe shoes, and a mask if hauling dusty demolition or yard debris.
  • Avoid peak weekend hours and spring clean-up Saturdays if possible; lines build up fast.
