Solid Waste Facility

Nassau County Solid Waste Department

46026 Landfill Rd, Callahan, FL 32011

(904) 530-6700

Small county landfill and drop-off site that locals use for household trash, recyclables and yard debris. People from Callahan and surrounding areas bring pickup loads, trailers and the occasional contractor dump truck here. The place is busy at times, especially after storms or during yard-cleanup season.

Drive up a short access road to a concrete booth where attendants direct traffic, then pull forward to a scale; charges are typically by weight so expect to stop again on the way out. Recycling bins sit off to the right just past the entrance booth, while piles of yard waste and mixed trash are visible farther into the property. The site looks industrial - roll-off containers, large compactors and dump trucks are common, and parking/maneuvering space is ample but dusty. Weekends and hurricane debris periods get backed up, so there can be a line to get in.

Before You Go

  • Cover and tie down loose loads to prevent items blowing out while driving; unsecured loads can slow unloading and create extra work.
  • Arrive early on weekends or after storm events to avoid long wait times; weekday mornings tend to be less crowded.
  • Separate recyclables and yard waste from regular trash in the truck or trailer so unloading goes faster once directed where to dump.
