GFL Decatur Landfill

324 Landfill Ln, Bath Springs, TN 38311

(731) 549-3567

GFL Decatur Landfill is the large burial site outside Bath Springs that handles the final disposal of municipal and commercial trash. Locals and haulers use it when transfer stations or county convenience centers aren’t an option. The place is built for heavy trucks and commercial loads, with a weight-based tipping fee structure rather than flat per-bag charges.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to wait if there’s a line of trucks; the site moves in batches so there’s often a brief hold at the gate. A scale is on site, so loads are charged by weight and vehicles typically stop on the way in and again on the way out. Expect typical landfill visuals: large compacted piles, heavy equipment working the cells, and wide gravel drives to the drop-off face. Pull up where directed, unload to the instructed spot, then head back toward the scale to clear out.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loose material before leaving home to avoid fines or cleanups at the gate and to keep debris from blowing out on the access road.
  • If hauling a mixed load, stage lighter, easier-to-unload items where they can be thrown out quickly to speed the visit and reduce time on the tipping face.
  • Avoid peak weekend cleanup times if possible; lines back up and big haulers can tie up the entrance, so a weekday visit usually moves faster.
