Landfill
Lena Road Class I Landfill
Lena Road Class I Landfill, 3333 Lena Road, Bradenton, 34211, Florida
Lena Road Class I Landfill is the big county landfill out on Lena Road in Bradenton where larger volumes of trash get buried. Residents hauling big loads and commercial haulers tend to use this site when curbside pickup won’t cut it.
Drive in and cross a scale - charges are weight-based, so expect to stop again on the way out. There’s an entrance booth and a pull-through layout; follow the posted lanes toward the active tipping area. The site is large, with dirt roads and visible mounds of compacted material and heavy equipment working nearby. Tipping fees are calculated by weight, and commercial loads are typically billed on a different rate structure than residential drops.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Weekends, spring cleanup times, and days after storms can get backed up; allow extra time for waiting and moving through the scale.
- Keep loads secured and tarped so debris doesn’t blow out during travel or require extra handling at the site.
- Many counties run household hazardous waste collection events - those are the better option for paints, solvents, and similar items rather than trying to bring them to the landfill.
