Advanced Disposal in Lakeland is the local disposal site most residents use for dropping off household and garden debris. Located right on US-92, it handles steady traffic and sees surges during storm season. Neighbors, landscapers, and small haulers all show up here to unload.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale to drive over - they weigh loads, so be prepared to stop twice. The site is large and open with piles and bays visible from the drive; yard waste areas are often separated from the main disposal piles. Lines form on weekends and after storms, so the entrance road can get congested. Signage and fences mark the traffic flow, and vehicles pull up to specific drop points depending on material type.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before driving in; wind on US-92 can blow debris off trailers.
- Bring a copy of a government ID or proof of residency in an easily accessible spot - it speeds things up at the booth.
- Avoid mid-morning on weekends or right after a storm if possible; those times have the longest waits.
