Small county dump serving Decatur and nearby rural addresses. It's the kind of place locals use for household cleanouts and yard debris, not a big city transfer station. Expect a no-frills setup out on Private Rd 4195 where people drop off trucks and trailers.
Drive in off the private road and look for a simple entrance area with a booth or gate and a place to pull over before heading onto the tipping areas. There's usually a scale or stop point near the entrance where vehicles pause, and a cluster of open pits and roll-off containers spread out across a gravel lot. The site looks functional rather than landscaped - piles, bins, and heavy equipment are common - so plan to maneuver slowly and watch for larger trucks. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to be grouped to one side of the main dumping area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Use a low-speed approach and pick a wider turn-in; the driveway and parking areas are often gravel and can be uneven after rain.
- Secure loads with tarps and straps before arriving so material doesn’t blow out while driving through the lot.
- Bring work gloves and closed-toe shoes; expect to walk a bit from the parking/scale area to the drop-off points and to handle items directly.
