County landfill on the outskirts of Georgetown for household drop-offs, commercial haulers and county trucks. A big, open site where garbage is buried - used by folks cleaning out a house, landscapers with loads of brush, and companies hauling routine trash.
A weigh scale and a small entrance booth sit near the road; expect to slow down there and again on the way out since charges are by weight. The property is large with rows of compacted trenches and dirt berms; trucks and trailers move slowly, and large trucks dominate the traffic. Weekends and spring cleanup or hurricane-prep times get backed up, so lines are common then. Signs and arrows point drivers toward tipping areas, but be prepared for a short walk from the vehicle depending on where drivers are directed.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or rope - loose material can blow and will likely be noticed at the scale or tipping area.
- Have any commercial paperwork or vehicle IDs ready if hauling for a business; commercial loads are handled there but may require documentation.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or known storm-prep periods if possible; arriving midweek or earlier in the day usually cuts down on waiting.
