Waste Management - Plant Atkinson Transfer Station

A working transfer station on Plant Atkinson Road that handles residential and commercial drop-offs before loads are trucked out to a landfill. Locals bring everything from household cleanouts to construction debris when they don’t want to drive all the way to a landfill. It’s the kind of place Smyrna folks use when a pickup truck or trailer is full and needs a quick offload.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-in area where vehicles queue up; larger trucks and trailers are common so give yourself room to maneuver. A scale and compacting area are visible on site, and piles of compacted material and roll-off containers are typical sights. Pull up to the attendant booth first to get directions for where to dump or unload, then follow the flow of traffic to the proper spot. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier and lines can form.
