Old Kings Road Landfill

8540 Old Kings Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32219

(904) 768-5363

Old Kings Road Landfill is the big municipal burial site out on Old Kings Road that locals and contractors use when other drop-offs won’t take a load. It’s the kind of place residents bringing yard waste, renovation debris, or full truckloads of trash end up at; commercial haulers commonly use landfills like this too. Expect a large, spread-out site rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to pull onto a scale - landfills in Florida typically charge by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out process. Traffic can stack up at the booth on weekends and after storms, and the property itself is mostly paved access roads, dirt tipping faces, and lined cells in the distance. Spot signs for where to drop mixed loads versus green waste are usually posted, with staff or attendants directing larger trucks where to unload.

Before You Go

  • Bring a way to cover loose loads for the drive in; wind can blow around debris and staff often expect loads to be contained.
  • Have an idea how heavy the truck is when empty so the weight-based fee is easier to estimate - large pickup loads will be charged differently than full commercial trailers.
  • Avoid peak times if possible: weekends, early spring clean-up, and right after hurricanes get busy and lines get long.
