Waste Management - Gainesville Hauling

2345 Athens Hwy, Gainesville, GA 30507

(678) 277-5014

Waste Management - Gainesville Hauling is the local waste disposal site on Athens Highway used by residents and small haulers around Gainesville. It handles community trash and typical household cleanouts, and is the kind of place people bring pickup loads, trailers, or a few bags from a remodel. Expect a working, industrial-looking yard rather than anything fancy.

Drive up the main entrance and you'll pull toward an entrance booth or gate area where incoming vehicles stop briefly; larger commercial trucks will use a separate lane if the site is busy. The lot has large roll-off containers and open tipping areas, with piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around. There’s usually a clear flow for drop-offs: slow in, drop material at the assigned pile or container, then exit; larger loads may be weighed. Weekends and spring cleanup periods get noticeably busier, so there can be short waits and some queuing on the driveway.

Before You Go

  • Bring good gloves and a tarp-walking across gravel and around debris is common, and a tarp helps keep loose stuff contained in a pickup or trailer.
  • Have material sorted as much as possible before getting there so the drop goes quickly; people who unload in a hurry can speed up the line for everyone.
  • If arriving on a weekend, expect slower traffic through the entrance and consider timing trips for weekday mornings when it’s typically quieter.
