Small-town landfill just off Augusta Road that people from Honea Path and surrounding areas use to bury household and commercial trash. Trucks and pickup loads both show up here; it's the kind of place drivers know by the big chimneys visible from the road.
There’s a scale at the entrance, so drivers stop to get weighed and usually have to stop again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight. A concrete booth marks the drive-in point, then lanes lead to the active fill area where attendants direct traffic. The site is fairly open and dusty in dry weather, with mounds of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back up traffic, so expect to sit in line when it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose loads and cover anything that might blow off; wind can send debris across the lanes.
- Have a photo ID and any needed paperwork handy since commercial drivers may be asked for credentials at the booth.
- If hauling a heavy commercial load, allow extra time for weighing and routing through the site - big trucks take longer to maneuver and tip.
