Reminder: Habersham County Landfill Ceasing C&D Operations

As announced in December, the Habersham County Landfill will stop accepting construction and demolition materials at the end of this month.

The last day of accepting construction and demolition materials (C&D) at the landfill will be Feb. 29. Habersham County Solid Waste Director Johnnie Vickers said the landfill’s C&D cell is nearing capacity, and a study has shown that putting construction waste in the municipal solid waste cell could cut the life of the landfill by a dozen years or more.

There are alternative facilities in Habersham, Hall, and Franklin counties that accept construction and demolition debris, the closest being a few miles from the landfill near Mt. Airy.

For questions about the upcoming change, contact the Habersham County Landfill at (706) 839-0242.
