Pickens County Landfill on Old Liberty Road is the county landfill for Liberty and nearby areas, where household and commercial trash end up for burial. Locals and small haulers use it when regular curb pickup won’t take something or for big clear-outs.
The drive-in has a staffed entrance booth and a scale to record weights, so expect to stop twice-once in and again out if the site uses weight-based tipping. Big open cells and dirt ramps are visible from the tipping area; commercial trucks and roll-offs are common sights. Pull up to the scale lane, follow the flow to the tipping face, then back in to dump and leave via the exit scale. Lines build on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before leaving home-loose debris can get pulled off in transit and will slow unloading.
- Bring a tarp and gloves; the tipping area is dusty and footing can be uneven near the cells and ramps.
- Plan for traffic delays on Saturdays and during spring cleanup; arriving earlier in the day usually means a shorter line.
