Out-of-county customers pay a $50 minimum for the first 500 pounds, then $75 a ton, and can't dump on Saturdays at all. Add $10 for each mattress or box spring, and $15 for each refrigerator or air conditioner unless you bring a statement from a certified technician that the freon has been removed.
What the landfill won't take, and where those items go
Leave batteries, computers and other electronics, gas tanks, oil, liquid paint, tires and railroad crossties out of your load. Dried-out paint is fine. The county sends those items to its Recycling Division, which you can reach at (770) 443-0119.
Bring a driver's license or other proof that you live in Paulding County. Construction and demolition debris is limited to 5 cubic yards a load, and commercial haulers are turned away after 4 p.m. and on Saturdays, so a Saturday morning is usually the quickest time for homeowners.
