Mc Minn County Landfill Crtkr

391 Co Rd 750, Athens, TN 37303

(423) 745-3244

Mc Minn County Landfill Crtkr is the county landfill located just outside Athens, used by local residents and commercial haulers who need a final disposal site. It’s the place trucks and trailers end up when trash and construction debris need burying rather than dropping off at a convenience center.

Expect an industrial, no-frills place with heavy equipment and large dirt piles; it’s scaled for full-size roll-offs and dump trucks as well as smaller pickups. A vehicle scale is typically part of the process and loads are weighed so there’s a tipping fee structure based on weight. Drive up to the entrance/booth area, follow the flow of traffic toward the active dumping face, and be prepared for dusty, muddy surfaces in bad weather. Lines can form on busy days, and space to maneuver a trailer is available but not tight, so take care backing up.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads with a tarp or tie-downs before arriving to avoid spilled debris and possible extra handling.
  • Bring proof of residency if needed for residential rates; many county facilities require it for local discounts.
  • Try to come early on a weekday rather than weekend or late afternoon-those times often have the longest wait and more congestion.
