Orange County Sanitary Landfill
Orange County Sanitary Landfill, 12100 Young Pine Road, Orlando, 32829, Florida
Orange County Sanitary Landfill on Young Pine Road is where residents and haulers bring real trash for burial outside Orlando. Big rigs mix with pickup trucks here, so it’s as much a working site as a place neighbors use when clearing out a yard or garage.
A scale booth sits near the entrance and the facility charges by weight, so expect a weigh-in and weigh-out with tipping fees applied. Commercial trucks are commonly seen at the site, since county landfills typically accept commercial loads. The property is large and industrial-looking - piled cells, heavy equipment, dusty drive aisles and a clear tipping area where loads are dumped. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and hurricane season can disrupt normal operations.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Plan for a stop at the scale - fees are weight-based, so a full load will cost noticeably more than a pickup’s worth.
- Keep loads covered and secure; loose debris blows around and slows unloading for everyone.
- Avoid weekend mornings and peak cleanup periods if possible, and be aware that storms or hurricane season may change access or increase wait times.
