New River Regional Landfill

New River Regional Landfill on NE 157th Street in Raiford is the local landfill where bigger household cleanouts and commercial haulers drop off trash to be buried. People from around the area come here when curbside pickup won’t handle the load, landscapers and contractors included.

Pull up to a scale booth at the entrance-vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are based on weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site itself is mostly open working faces, piled dirt and compacted trash, with heavy equipment moving around; it feels like a working yard, not a tidy transfer station. Commercial loads are accepted alongside residential drops, so semi traffic is common. Remember that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulates these facilities and hurricane season can lead to unexpected closures or delays.
