Dade County Recycling Center (Scales open until 4:30 pm) in Trenton, GA earns 86/100. Reviews skew positive: friendly, hands-on staff/helpers (often inmates) and fast in–out, clean grounds, Saturday convenience, and small bag drop-offs sometimes free. Complaints note a tight fit for some trucks/trailers, the presence of inmate crews not suiting everyone, confusion or limits on hours (closed Mondays; after‑6pm access lacking), and cash‑only with prices higher than some nearby options. Yard appears orderly, waits are typically short. No parts inventory to hunt here.
The Dade County transfer station is easy to enter and exit with a trailer, the people are friendly and helpful, and usually they have inmates that will help you unload your truck or trailer. I’ve been here 20+ times and I always have a pleasant experience, which is rare for dumps and transfer stations.
A good place never had a problem dumping there. Other then there not open on Mondays. There is always a cop not to far away from there. Make sure your tarps are on your trailer. The prices are more then others and they only take cash.
Love them and people are always friendly. No charge if you are just hauling a few trash bags off. They don’t close because people steal they close because you have to pay for big items to be taken off. And your vehicle has to be weighed at the check in.
Regular little trash transfer station and recycling center.
I don't think most of the stuff they accept here actually gets recycled anymore, which is a huge problem, but maybe one day someone will come along and fix it.
Open on Saturday which is very convenient. There are usually guys ready and willing to assist you in unloading your trash. And they are are always super friendly!
It would be nice, for those of us who work day shift, if some provision was made for garbage disposal after 6pm. A dumpster outside the fence, maybe? Seriously, is people stealing garbage a problem in Trenton?
