Waste Management - Maple Hill Landfill

A working landfill on the east side of Macon, the Maple Hill site is where household and commercial garbage ends up buried. Neighbors and local haulers both use it; it's the kind of place that handles big loads rather than small curbside pickups.

Drive up a short gravel lane to a scale and an entrance booth where trucks are logged and weighed; the site charges tipping fees calculated by weight or volume, so vehicles are weighed coming in and again on the way out. The property is large with dirt roads, roll-off areas and exposed compacted cells edged by berms - expect dust in dry weather and mud after rain. Commercial loads are accepted alongside residential drop-offs, so there can be steady truck traffic and occasional backups during busy weekends or seasonal cleanups.
