Cedar Trail Landfill (CTL)

Cedar Trail Landfill (CTL) in Bartow is the local municipal landfill on State Road 60 West where people haul the stuff that won’t fit in curbside bins. Contractors and homeowners doing big cleanups both use the site; it’s the place to bring large or bulky loads when other options aren’t available.

The place is large and looks like a working construction site - lots of dirt roads, mounded cells, and heavy equipment moving around. There’s a scale and a gate booth at the entrance, so vehicles stop for weighing and paperwork before being directed where to dump; most landfills charge by weight with a minimum residential fee plus per-ton charges. Expect to drive out onto compacted gravel and follow traffic flow to find the active dumping face. Weather or hurricane season can change operations and cause backups, especially during county clean-up drives.
