A county landfill out on Wells Highway where trucks and pickups drop the stuff that ends up buried. Locals, landscapers and haulers use it - it's the final stop for household trash and larger commercial loads from around Oconee County.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth to check in, so plan to pull forward and stop for weighing. The site is large, with dirt roads, working faces of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around. Loads are usually charged by weight (tipping fees), so you’ll drive across the scale and be weighed as part of the process. Weekends and spring cleanup can mean lines, and the driveways and dumping areas can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your load secured and covered for the drive in - loose debris blows and makes unloading slower.
- Approach the scale slowly and be ready to follow directions from the booth; expect to stop on entry and again after dumping.
- Avoid peak weekend cleanup times if possible; a weekday morning usually moves faster when heavy equipment is operating.
