Dekalb County Landfill & Trash

This is the county landfill out on Keltonburg Road that locals use for big cleanouts and contractor drops. Mostly used by residents with bulky trash and by commercial haulers bringing larger loads. It’s a working landfill-where trash ends up buried-so expect a no-frills, functional place rather than a tidy transfer station.

A large property with heavy equipment, piles and cells where material is handled and covered; the site operates at a scale and scope typical for a county landfill. There’s a weigh scale and a tipping fee structure in place-fees are set locally and are usually charged by weight or per load at facilities like this, and commercial loads are commonly accepted. Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area first, then proceed to the unloading area; trucks and trailers are the norm and the ground can be gravel or dirt with some ruts. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be ready for a bit of waiting and for staff to direct vehicle flow around active equipment.
