Mac Bride Landfill is the county-style burial site on McBride Road that locals use for big cleanouts and contractor drop-offs. Neighbors bring everything from household junk to bulky items, and smaller haulers swing through when they have a load to bury.
There’s a gate/booth at the entrance and a scale you’ll cross to be weighed, so plan for a short stop in and out. The site is large and open-mounds of compacted waste and working faces are visible from the driving lanes, with trucks maneuvering around. Traffic can slow on weekends or during spring cleanup and hurricane-debris events, so the line for the tip area or scale can back up. Landfills of this size commonly charge by weight and often accept commercial loads, though exact policies vary by facility.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pull up to the entrance booth and have the truck or trailer positioned so the attendant can see the load; it speeds things through the scale.
- Expect to drive slowly around the site and follow signs or staff directions for the tipping area-watch for heavy equipment and changing traffic patterns.
- Bring straps or tarps to keep materials contained on the drive in; loose debris can be a hassle when lining up to tip and can blow off on windy days.
