Small-city landfill serving Vero Beach and surrounding areas. Locals and contractors drop off household trash, construction debris and yard clippings here, and larger commercial trucks also commonly use the site. Expect a working, industrial spot rather than anything polished or pretty.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to slow down for a scale - this landfill charges by weight and you'll likely stop twice, in and out. There are long earthen berms and active tipping faces where trucks unload; piles of mulch or brush are often off to one side, since Florida sites usually separate yard waste. Lines can form, especially on weekends and after storms, and there’s a clear flow: scale/booth, pull up to the drop area, then back over the scale before leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads tightly and cover them if required; loose debris can mean extra hassle when pulling in.
- Bring proof of residency if dropping off residential material, since many county sites check IDs.
- Plan trips outside of weekend mid-morning peaks and storm-survey periods to avoid long waits.
