Get Directions

Advanced Disposal on Philips Hwy is the local disposal site people use when the regular curb pickup won’t do - homeowners and folks with truckloads head here in Jacksonville. Located on a busy stretch of Philips Highway, it handles the kind of everyday trash and cleanup loads that pop up around town.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-in where vehicles queue; expect to stop at a scale and then pull forward to unload in large, open drop-off areas. The site is fairly industrial-looking: piles, compactors, and separate piles for things like yard waste are common in Florida facilities, especially after storms. Weekends and spring-cleaning days get busy, so there can be a line of trucks and trailers stretching back onto the approach road. Remember that loads are handled by weight at most disposal sites, so people usually stop at the scale twice - in and out.

Before You Go

  • Bring something to cover loose debris in the bed of a truck - it keeps material from blowing out on the highway and makes unloading easier.
  • If hauling yard waste, aim for a weekday or early morning to avoid the weekend backup that happens after big yard-cleaning pushes or post-storm drops.
  • Have vehicles positioned to back in or pull up beside a drop zone; maneuvering space matters, so remove trailers or accessories that limit turning when possible.
