George Coniglio Landfill in Thonotosassa is the big burial site on Williams Road where household trash and larger commercial hauls end up. Locals, landscapers and haulers use it when curbside pickup won’t cut it; this is a true landfill - the final place garbage gets buried.
Drive past an entrance booth and prepare for a scale stop; landfills of this size typically charge by weight so expect to be weighed coming and going. The site looks like open cells and large dirt or cover material piles, with heavy trucks moving around and gravel surfaces underfoot. Pull up to the booth first, then follow directions from staff or signage to the unloading area and take care on the ramps and working faces where trucks back in. Weekends and post-storm periods can get backed up, and yards or vegetative debris are often handled separately from household trash at Florida facilities.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads tightly and cover loose debris-windy Florida days will spread it if not tied down.
- Leave extra time on weekends or after storms; lines and wait times can double compared with a weekday.
- Bring a copy or photo of any required ID or account info so the check-in at the booth goes quickly.
