Waste Management - Chesser Island Road Landfill

A working landfill on Chesser Island Road that handles household and commercial garbage for the Folkston area. Big trucks come through here regularly, so it's not a small roadside dump - it's the place where loads get buried and managed down the line. Locals, contractors and landscapers all use it for larger cleanups and construction debris.

Drive up to a manned entrance booth and be ready to stop for a scale; vehicles are typically weighed and charged based on weight or load type. Pull forward to the tipping area when directed, where there’s usually a clear drop zone and compacted cells in the distance. The site looks industrial - lots of dirt roads, heavy equipment, and piles of compacted material - so expect dust and truck traffic. Weekends, especially during spring projects, can be busy with a line of pickups and trailers waiting to get in.
