Doing it yourself in Cornelia
Here's how local pickup and drop-off rules look as of November 2026:
City of Cornelia garbage is collected weekly. Bags go to the street by 6 a.m. and must weigh under 40 pounds. (City of Cornelia)
The city chips limbs set at the curb with the cut ends facing the street, but nothing over 4 inches across. Bigger limbs have to go to the county landfill. (City of Cornelia)
Habersham County has no curbside pickup. The recycling center at 507 Nicolon Drive in Cornelia takes recyclables only, not metal, electronics, mattresses or box springs. (Habersham County)
The Habersham County Landfill at 4900 Dicks Hill Parkway in Mt. Airy charges $65 a ton with a $25 minimum for household garbage, $10 per mattress or box spring, and $5 per car tire. It's open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday until 12:30. (Habersham County)
The county landfill stopped accepting construction and demolition debris in February 2024. (Habersham County)

Junk removal in Cornelia: remodel debris, old homes and mountain property
Cornelia jobs often start with a project. Someone remodels a kitchen or bathroom, pulls up old carpet, or tears off a back porch, and then finds out the county landfill won't take construction debris anymore. Others start with an older home being cleared out for a sale, or a piece of property with a shed or outbuilding full of decades of stored things. Those are all jobs we do in one trip, with no scale lines and no second run.
What Cornelia homeowners call us for
Remodel debris: drywall, flooring, cabinets and old fixtures
Whole-house and estate cleanouts
Sheds, decks and porches torn down and hauled away
Mattresses, furniture and appliances the recycling center can't take
Brush and limbs too big for the city chipper
Why not just make a landfill run?
For a few bags or one mattress, the landfill is reasonable. For a full room, a remodel or a shed, it means loading a trailer, crossing the scale in and out, paying by the ton, and figuring out where the construction debris goes since the county won't take it. We load it, sort out what can be donated, and take everything where it belongs.
What junk removal costs in Cornelia
Cornelia jobs are priced by trailer space, not by the hour, and we confirm the exact price on site before we load. One bulky item starts at $125. A quarter trailer starts at $225, a half trailer at $350, three quarters at $450, and a full 10.7 cubic yard load starts around $550. Mattresses start at $75, and refrigerators and freezers are $110 because we haul them intact so the refrigerant can be recovered. Stairs, long carries and heavy material like lumber or brush cost more. These are starting prices, and the full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Cornelia questions
Where can I take construction debris in Habersham County? Not the county landfill, which stopped taking construction and demolition debris in February 2024. We haul remodel and demolition debris as part of the job. See our debris removal page.
Can I take a mattress to the Cornelia recycling center? No. The recycling center on Nicolon Drive doesn't take mattresses or box springs. They go to the county landfill for $10 each, or we pick them up starting at $75.
