Cherokee County Landfill on US-19 in Marble is the county dump where residents and businesses bring trash that gets buried. Expect to see everything from pickup loads of yard waste to larger commercial trucks coming through.
There’s a scale house/entrance booth and loads are weighed, so tipping fees are charged by weight and vehicles usually cross the scale coming and going. After the booth traffic is routed to the active tipping area where heavy equipment and piles of material are visible. The ground can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and lines tend to form on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before driving on US-19-losing debris on the road or at the site will slow things down.
- Sort metals, tires, and recyclables at home; many county facilities handle those separately and having them separated saves time on-site.
- Carry proof of residency or business paperwork for commercial hauls and try to avoid weekend mornings when seasonal lines are longest.
