Who can use it
The Refuse Disposal Division serves City of Savannah departments, City of Savannah residents, and paid subscribers in unincorporated Chatham County. Dean Forest Road is available to city residents for waste generated within their own domicile (a person's fixed, permanent, principal home). Commercial waste, including waste from managing rental property, is not accepted at either site. Bacon Park Convenience Center is reserved for city residents only. Services will not be provided to people who live in Pooler, Port Wentworth, Garden City, Bloomingdale, Thunderbolt, Vernonburg, or Tybee Island. Unincorporated Chatham County subscribers must pay a nonrefundable annual disposal fee in advance to the Revenue Department at the Coastal Georgia Center, 305 Fahm Street, or by mail to P.O. Box 1228, Savannah, GA 31402-1228. Payments are not accepted at the landfill. A Revenue Department-stamped Annual Tipping Fee Credit Form must be shown at the scale, and the name is then added to a subscribers list. For those subscribers, acceptable materials are limited to containerized garbage and non-containerized recyclable items only, plus up to four tires; dry trash, bulky items, furniture, appliances, non-containerized garbage, and yard waste will not be accepted from them at Dean Forest Road. The city points those customers to Chatham County drop-off centers for dry trash, bulky items, furniture, appliances, and yard waste: Sharon Park Landfill on Kelly Hill Road (off U.S. Highway 80, 0.5 miles west of Chatham Parkway); Chevis Road Landfill (off U.S. Highway 17, south of Keller's Flea Market); and Wilmington Island Landfill (off Concorde Road). Chatham County Public Works: (912) 652-6840.
