A working landfill on County Road 489 that handles household and commercial drop-offs for the Lake Panasoffkee area. Neighbors and small haulers use it when curbside pickup isn't an option or after big cleanups. It's a no-frills place where loads get weighed and buried, not a recycling center or transfer station.
There's a weigh scale and an attendant booth near the entrance; trucks pull up, get weighed, and then head in to dump. The site is large with visible cell faces and compacted piles-think heavy equipment, dusty roads, and open tipping areas. Yard waste is often separated at Florida landfills, so expect different piles for green material, though policies vary. Lines are common on weekends and after storms, and commercial trucks are handled alongside residential vehicles.

- Arrive with materials covered and secured-loose debris blows around and can get messy for others.
- Bring a pickup or trailer gate plan; some drop points are higher than standard beds and require a bit of muscle or a helper to unload.
- Have a basic idea of load type and vehicle weight before you get to the scale so unloading goes faster and traffic keeps moving.
