Bridgeway Acres Landfill

Bridgeway Acres Landfill is the large county landfill on 114th Ave N in St. Petersburg, used by both residents dropping off household junk and commercial haulers with bigger loads. Vehicles range from pickup trucks to roll-offs, and the site feels like a true final-destination landfill rather than a drop-off recycling center.

Drive up to an entrance/weigh station area where trucks stop to be weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to cross a scale. After the booth, traffic is routed to where heavy equipment is operating and piles of compacted material or cover dirt are visible; signs and personnel direct drivers to the proper unloading point. On busy weekends and during seasonal cleanups or after storms the place gets busy and lines can form, and separate piles or zones for yard debris and storm debris are common at Florida facilities. The site is large and noisy: watch for loaders, dozers and trucks, and be prepared to share the road with commercial vehicles.
