Waste Management - Evergreen Landfill

Evergreen Landfill in Valdosta is the local burial-site style landfill where residential and commercial trucks bring final-disposal loads. Neighbors, contractors, and haulers use it when material needs to be buried rather than dropped at a transfer station. It sits off Wetherington Lane and handles larger volumes typical of a regional landfill.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and pull forward to show identification or load paperwork if requested; many landfills have a scale here and tipping fees are charged by weight. Vehicles then proceed to the working face or to specific dumping zones, which are large, open dirt areas with heavy equipment moving material around. The site looks industrial-compacted soil, berms, and heavy machinery are common sights, and traffic can back up at busier times like weekends or seasonal cleanups. Expect to stop again to cross the scale on the way out so the outgoing weight can be recorded.
