Glades Landfill LLC

Glades Landfill LLC on FL-78 is the county landfill people use when hauling loads that need to be buried rather than recycled. Locals, landscapers and commercial haulers show up here for bigger jobs and storm cleanups. It’s the kind of place visited when a pickup or roll-off is full and there’s no other option.

Drive in off State Road 78 and you'll see an entrance booth and a scale - the site charges tipping fees by weight, so trucks typically stop to be weighed. After the scale the road leads up to the working face and large dirt cells; expect heavy equipment like bulldozers and compactors moving material. There’s usually a separate pile or area for yard debris and hurricane-related brush, and commercial trucks are handled alongside residential drop-offs. Visibility can be dusty on dry days and muddy after storms, with high berms and cover soil visible around the active areas.
