East Central Georgia, on Eastern time

Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers 18 convenience centers and the Emanuel County Transfer Station. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.

What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more

Before you go

  • Emanuel County closed its landfill in 2002. Garbage from the dumpsites and the transfer station goes to a landfill in another county.

Convenience centers

  • Emanuel County’s dumpsites are open around the clock for county residents’ bagged household garbage only, with no construction debris, hazardous waste, or electronics. Keep an ID or utility bill handy in case you’re asked. Don’t pile bags on or beside a full dumpster; the sites are on camera, and dumpster diving can bring a fine of up to $500.
