Yard Waste & Compost Drop-Off in Savannah

Chevis Road Drop-Off Center

763 Chevis Road

(912) 652-6840

Tuesday thru Saturday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM

Chatham County Public Works runs the Chevis Road Drop-Off Center, one of three county recycling drop-offs along with Wilmington Island and Sharon Park. The site takes cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper, scrap metal, cleaned food cans, and #1 and #2 plastics such as clear bottles, milk jugs, and detergent bottles. Food and beverage glass has been off the list since July 2015. Attendants require pre-sorted loads, residents who arrive with mixed recyclables sort them on the spot, and every residential load is subject to inspection. Household garbage, tires, car batteries, liquids, closed containers, hazardous chemicals, wet paint, stumps, and debris from full demolitions or major renovations are refused. Free mulch chipped from county yard waste is available at the drop-off centers for residents who bring their own containers.

Wilmington Island Drop-Off Center

7022 Concord Road

(912) 652-6840

Mon Closed · Tue-Sat 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM · Sun 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Chatham County Public Works runs this Concord Road recycling drop-off, which is the only one of the county's three drop-off centers open on Sunday afternoons. It takes cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper, scrap metal, rinsed food cans, #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs, and, unlike the Chevis Road and Sharon Park sites, used cooking oil and used motor oil. Glass bottles and jars have been refused since 2015. Attendants require every load to arrive sorted, and anyone who has not sorted at home sorts on site. Loads are inspected, and yard waste goes in kraft paper bags or reusable containers, never plastic bags. Household garbage, tires, car batteries, wet paint, household chemicals, closed containers, demolition debris, land clearing, stumps, boats, and docks are turned away. Free chipped mulch from county yard waste goes to residents who bring containers.
