Local disposal guide
Carroll County trash & recycling
Find a drop-off site, arrange weekly pickup, or check where a larger load belongs near Carrollton, Temple, Bowdon and Whitesburg.
Find a place to unload
Choose an item and the county where the waste comes from. Location is optional.
Call before loading to confirm access, your whole load, fees and today’s hours.
Choose a common item, or search by name. For a mixed load, add the other materials below.
Add materials for a mixed load
Listings must fit every selected material. If no place fits, separate the load and check each material on its own.
Choose the county where the waste comes from. Other counties’ resident-only sites stay hidden.
For mattresses, cooling appliances, paint and electronics, only listings with item-specific guidance appear. Other facilities may accept them; call the county if none fit.
Access, matching & location privacy
Choose Business / paid cleanup for business waste, contractor work or paid hauling. The facility decides how your load is classified. Household selection does not waive permits, quantity limits or fees.
Location can suggest a county; it does not establish residency. Nearby public facilities still have load rules and charges. Published acceptance has conditions. “Call to confirm” means the reviewed source does not establish acceptance of this material. A material match is not approval for your whole load.
Location is optional. Coordinates stay in this page’s memory and are not included in search links or inquiries. Street-map tiles come from OpenStreetMap for the area shown. Distances are straight-line estimates, not driving routes or travel times. The location dot and road-area pins are approximate. Clearing location or leaving the page discards your coordinates.

Another way to handle household trash
Prefer weekly pickup at home?
A private collection service can save you a trip to a drop-off center. If your home has city-provided pickup, check with city hall first.
Bowdon Disposal
Weekly residential curbside trash pickup in Carroll County, with a 95-gallon cart provided. The company advertises no contracts.
Confirm service at your address, your pickup day and the full price directly with Bowdon Disposal.
Before you sign up
Ask about the billing period, new-account fee, accepted trash and any extra services. If moving your cart is difficult, ask about their optional driveway collection service.
Although the company advertises no contracts, its terms say service continues through the current billing period and unused days receive no partial refund. Review the current plans and service terms before choosing a plan.
Company service information checked October 23, 2026. This is an independent directory listing; availability and terms are confirmed by the provider.
Know about the 2027 pass change
Plan ahead: The Georgia Sun reported on September 29, 2026 that passes become required January 1, 2027: $50 per household annually, or $25 for residents age 65 and older. Its report says sales began October 1, 2026, with no pass required before January.
The county homepage now links a Convenience Center Pass application under “Apply For.” Its older center directory still says “no charge.” Read that alongside the newer announcement, not as a promise of permanently free service.
The Georgia Sun lists in-person sales at Community Development, 423 College Street, Carrollton, and an online application. It describes photo ID and county-residency documentation, with processing or mailing fees possible. Confirm the current requirements before applying. Read the September 29 report; FOX 5 also reported the upcoming fee on August 18.
These centers serve Carroll County residents. Ask Solid Waste: 770-832-1233 about your address and load; a nearby Haralson address or permit does not establish eligibility.
Check the load before leaving home
- Household bags: these are household trash drop-off sites. Ask about quantity limits and commercial loads.
- Furniture, mattresses and bulky items: published sources conflict. Older directories list furniture, while later reporting describes a July 2026 change sending bulky items to the transfer station. Call Solid Waste before loading; this guide does not promise center acceptance.
- Recycling: accepted materials vary by location. The county card and Keep Carroll Beautiful’s newer web directory disagree about some materials, including cardboard. Confirm the specific material with your center.
- Refrigerators, freezers and other refrigerant appliances: the county excludes these from its centers and transfer station. Ask for an approved disposal option.
- Limbs, yard debris, carpet, building materials and tires: contact the transfer station about acceptance, preparation and charges. Do not assume they belong in household containers.
- Paint, chemicals, batteries or other unusual waste: ask for the appropriate collection option. Keep Carroll Beautiful publishes recycling and collection-event information; check an event’s actual date and rules.
Furniture discrepancy: county directory and August 19, 2026 reporting. We have not independently confirmed the current item-by-item furniture policy with the county.
The transfer station: a different trip
439 Simonton Mill Road, Carrollton, GA 30117. Call 770-832-1233.
The county’s published sheet lists Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–3:45 p.m., with the gate closing at 3:45; Sunday closed. Keep Carroll Beautiful lists a 3:30 p.m. close. Confirm the day’s last acceptance time and arrive well before it. Do not use the convenience center’s evening hours for a transfer-station load.
The county sheet lists household/commercial refuse at $70 per ton with a $25 minimum, and separated yard debris/limbs at $54 per ton with a $25 minimum. Tires cost extra. Confirm the price and accepted load before hauling; the convenience-center annual pass is not a transfer-station tipping-fee payment.
The sheet also restricts long construction materials and excludes hazardous waste, liquids and several other materials. Read the full county transfer-station sheet or call before loading. This is not a complete acceptance list.
A simple first trip
- Check whether your address already has city pickup. For county drop-off, confirm residency and the pass requirement for your visit date.
- Describe the materials and amount; ask whether the center or transfer station is appropriate.
- Check that location’s hours and today’s closures.
- Open the map listing, verify the facility, secure the load and follow the attendant’s directions.
Sources and corrections
This independent guide combines county publications, the local recycling organization’s directory and dated reporting about the upcoming pass. The newer policy reporting is attributed rather than presented as a direct conversation with county staff. Conflicting hours and material rules remain labeled. We have not verified entrances in person, telephoned the centers or completed a pass purchase.
