Questions this resource should answer.
Honest answers. If your question isn't here, ask us directly.
Savannah dump fees range $40-75/ton for MSW, with most facilities charging $55-65/ton. WM Superior Landfill and Republic Services don't publish rates — all pricing is negotiated per commercial account. Georgia statewide average is $55.76/ton but Savannah's limited competition drives prices higher.
Atlantic Waste Services Transfer Station offers competitive rates estimated at $45-60/ton but requires 2-ton minimum loads. Green Acres Recycling provides the lowest C&D disposal at $35-50/ton for sorted materials. City of Savannah Transfer Station charges per load ($15 up to 500 lbs) but only works for very small residential jobs.
Georgia doesn't require state-level waste transporter licenses for junk removal. However, Chatham County requires commercial haulers to register with the Health Department ($50 annual fee) and maintain $1M liability insurance. Standard business license and vehicle registration also apply.
WM Superior Landfill and Republic Services accept mixed C&D at $50-65/ton estimated. Green Acres Recycling offers better rates ($35-50/ton) for sorted C&D and pays market rates for clean concrete and metals. Separate materials before arrival for lowest pricing.
WM Superior operates Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, Sat 7am-3pm. Republic Services runs Mon-Fri 6:30am-4:30pm, Sat 7am-2pm. Most facilities close Sundays. Atlantic Waste and Green Acres have limited Saturday hours — call ahead to confirm availability.
Mattress disposal fees range $15-25 each at Savannah facilities. This is in addition to per-ton landfill charges. Some operators partner with mattress recycling services to avoid disposal fees, though pickup minimums may require batching multiple jobs.
Yes — Savannah's port location drives competitive scrap pricing. Copper pays $3.20-3.80/lb, aluminum $0.65-0.85/lb, steel $0.15-0.25/lb. Chatham Steel & Metal and American Iron & Metal compete for volume loads. Separating metals from every job typically adds $50-150 revenue.
All major landfills accept appliances but charge $15-35 recovery fees for Freon units (refrigerators, AC units, dehumidifiers). Non-Freon appliances like washers and dryers go to standard MSW facilities. Consider partnering with appliance dealers who may accept trade-ins for parts value.
