Landfill Services
 The Athens-Clarke
County Landfill is a state-of-the-art, lined Subtitle
D landfill. The ACC landfill is comprised of about
400 acres with a remaining capacity of 10 years. Approximately
300 tons of material are disposed in the ACC landfill
per day (as of January 2006). In August 1992, ACC entered
into a landfill agreement with neighboring Oglethorpe
County. This allowed for the expansion of the ACC landfill
into Oglethorpe County on approximately 40 acres of
property owned by ACC. This agreement also required
that all construction and demolition waste be diverted
to the Oglethorpe County C&D landfill (located on Highway
78).

The entrance to the ACC Landfill will be on the left
