Georgetown County Subtitle D Landfill
Georgetown County Subtitle D Landfill, 201 Landfill Road, Georgetown, 29440, South Carolina
Georgetown County Subtitle D Landfill is the county dump out on Landfill Road in Georgetown, used by homeowners clearing out basements and by big commercial haulers. This is a Subtitle D landfill, so it’s the kind of place where garbage gets buried long-term and handles fairly large volumes. Tipping fees at this level are typically charged by weight, with different tiers for small residential drops and larger commercial loads.
Drive in past a small entrance area and plan to stop at a scale - trucks usually get weighed before and/or after dumping. The site is big: expect wide dirt roads, piles of compacted trash, and heavy equipment moving around all day. Lines get longer on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there may be a bit of wait time before it’s your turn. Keep windows up when near the tipping face and pull into the dumping lane when a spot opens up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down everything before leaving home so nothing blows out on the drive; loose stuff that escapes will add time and a mess.
- Secure small items in boxes or bags so they aren’t scattered when backing up to the tipping area, and wear sturdy shoes - the ground can be uneven and muddy.
- Try to go on a weekday morning if possible; weekends and holiday-cleanup times are the busiest and can mean long waits at the scale and dump face.
