Indian River County Landfill Class I

Indian River County Landfill Class I is the county landfill out on 74th Avenue SW in Vero Beach, used by residents and commercial haulers for final disposal. Small trailers, pickup loads and big roll-offs all show up here - it’s where trash gets buried rather than recycled or processed. The site is what locals think of when they say 'take it to the dump.'

Drive in toward the entrance and you'll come up on an entrance booth and a weigh scale; the site charges by weight so expect to stop and be weighed at least once. After the scale there’s a working yard with heavy equipment and long, dirt-topped disposal cells - it looks industrial, not tidy. Residential loads typically have a minimum fee while larger commercial haulers pay by ton; commercial loads are accepted. During peak times, especially weekend mornings and spring cleanup, lines can form and trucks wait to get on the scale.
