Augusta roll-offs, scheduled around the county landfill
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. In Augusta the consolidated city-county government runs the landfill, and its weekday opening and truck permits set the pace for a swap.
Last reviewed October 27, 2026.
Short answer
- The Augusta landfill at 4330 Deans Bridge Road takes construction and demolition waste, which it defines as building materials and rubble from construction, remodeling, repair, paving, and demolition.
- It is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 to 11 a.m.
- Trucks hauling for business buy a permit at the scale house, per truck, and a permit bought mid-year is prorated by the month.
- 10 providers in our provider network have completed jobs in Augusta.
Where the hauling day starts
A swap isn't finished until the truck has tipped, and in Augusta the landfill's 6 a.m. weekday opening and short Saturday shift bound the day. We keep the sites on one account and answer for them. When a pickup gets missed, we contact the hauler the same business day.
Augusta jobs tend to start at the landfill scale house, so plan the hauling day around its hours, which run only a few hours on Saturday morning. A truck hauling for a business needs its own permit there, bought per truck, so confirm a new hauler has one before it heads out with a full container. For demolition, the state notice comes before anything else. File it, wait it out, and then schedule the first drop, rather than parking an empty container next to a building nobody can touch yet.
A lone site with a hauler that already knows the gate can stay as it is. The hauler, broker, and provider network page shows where we fit, and the Georgia page has state rules.
Deliveries in Augusta
Jobs delivered to Augusta addresses, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026. Canceled jobs are not counted.
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts. The sanitation figure adds portable toilets and hand-wash units placed. Where a restroom-trailer count is shown, it is units placed.
What the Augusta landfill takes and when
Augusta-Richmond County's Solid Waste and Recycling Facility defines construction and demolition waste as waste building materials and rubble from construction, remodeling, repair, paving, and demolition, such as wood, brick, concrete, metal, wallboard, and insulation. The gate is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 to 11 a.m., and it closes on major holidays. Business trucks buy a permit at the scale house, per truck, and a permit bought during the year is prorated monthly. Call the scale house before a long job to confirm the current rate.
Who can pull a permit in Augusta
Augusta's License and Inspection Department issues no permit to anyone except a properly licensed Georgia contractor under state law and county ordinance, with homeowners as the exception. A building or demolition job therefore needs a licensed contractor to pull the permit, so confirm that before containers go on the schedule.
Demolition starts with a state notice
Demolition in Georgia runs on a state clock. The Environmental Protection Division wants written notice at least ten working days before any demolition begins, and the owner or operator has to inspect the building for asbestos first and remove any regulated material before work starts. Owners of four or fewer dwelling units are exempt unless the job is part of a larger project. Augusta's page on county-ordered demolitions follows the same clock: a ten-day waiting period applies, the contractor makes sure utilities are disconnected, and all material is hauled away within 48 business hours. EPD's memo was last revised in May 2018, so confirm the current form before you file. Book the roll-off for after the notice period, not before it.

Wind window

Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC, January to August 2026 against the same months of 2025. Apartment-size permits fell from 334 units to 30, a small base, so read it as a pause more than a trend.
