It’s the only place in Walton County that takes tires, appliances, mattresses, paint, brush, and construction debris.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Walton County rules
- Walton County residents pay no tipping fee at the Central Landfill for household waste, construction debris, yard waste, or recycling; proof of residency may be required, and a vehicle with business markings or a load hauled for someone else may be charged as commercial. Others pay $50 a ton for household waste and $42 a ton for construction debris, yard waste, and recycling. Lead paint, treated wood, and chemicals aren’t accepted.
- Recycling trailers at 20 spots around the county take plastic bottles 1 and 2, aluminum cans, and newspaper and other paper, and some take flattened cardboard. No glass: it goes in household trash.
- WM collects household waste, yard waste, and bulk waste at the curb under the county’s contract. Bulk waste goes once a month, 2 to 3 items (appliances free of Freon and fuel, furniture, mattresses), free if it meets the guidelines; call WM at 850-389-6121.
