Small county landfill a few miles outside Paris that locals and haulers use when trash needs to be buried rather than taken to a transfer station. It’s the final place for loads that can’t be handled at convenience centers. Expect both residential drop-offs and typical commercial trucks to visit here.
There’s usually a weigh scale and a little entrance booth where vehicles stop in and out - landfills of this type charge by weight, so plan on getting weighed. Pull up to the booth, they’ll direct where to tip, then head to the working face; the site looks like compacted dirt and berms with piled cover material nearby. Watch for slow-moving equipment and trucks around the active cells; it’s not a neat transfer station, it’s where garbage gets buried and the layout reflects that.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or cargo cover for loose or wet loads - debris blows around in open areas and covering things keeps hauling cleaner.
- Have a plan for separating bulky items from regular trash before getting to the gate so the tipping process goes faster.
- Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup; arriving during a weekday morning often moves quicker for small residential loads.
