Oconee County Solid Waste & Recycling

05/26/2026

Due to the large amounts of rain and muddy conditions at the Oconee County Landfill, we are temporarily unable to accept stumps and logs at this time. The wet conditions are causing equipment and vehicles to get stuck, making it unsafe to process these materials.

🌳 We are still accepting brush 🌳

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while conditions improve. Please help us out by separating loads before arriving when possible.

With so many new folks moving into Oconee County, we want to make sure everyone knows their options for trash and recycling.

No problem! There are several private residential haulers that offer weekly trash service for a fee. We’ve put together a list of local companies and their contact info to help you get started.
