Maple Hill Landfill

Maple Hill Landfill is the big burial site out on Intrepid Road that most folks from Macon use when curb pickup won't take something. Neighbors, contractors and haulers all bring loads here; it's the place where trash actually gets tipped and buried. The operation is a proper landfill-larger in scale than a drop-off center, with a scale and defined tipping fee structure and space to handle commercial loads.

Expect a gravel drive in to an entrance booth and a scale-vehicles usually stop to be weighed so plan on a quick in-and-out scale stop before and after dumping. The site looks like a working quarry with compacted cells and equipment moving around; lines can form, especially on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup. Drivers generally pull up to a receiving area for unloading and then pass back over the scale to settle charges. Bring a truck or trailer that’s easy to maneuver; turning and backing up to the active face is part of the routine.
