Leon County Solid Waste Management

A county-run solid waste site off Apalachee Parkway used by Tallahassee residents for household trash, recycling, and yard debris. Locals bring everything from bagged yard clippings to bulky items, and the place stays busy-especially during storm cleanup season.

Drive up to a staffed entrance/scale area where vehicles are routed through for weighing; expect to stop twice if they use scales for in/out weights. The property is large with piles and separate collection points visible from the lanes, so follow the painted arrows and signs once inside. There’s usually a small booth at the entrance and a series of drop-off bays and open-air piles spread across the site. Weekends and post-storm days get crowded, so lines and slow-moving traffic are common.
