A big county landfill out in Lithia where most residential and commercial hauls end up. Trucks and trailers frequent this spot, especially during hurricane season and yard‑cleanup times. It’s the kind of place locals use when curbside pickup won’t cut it.
There’s a drive‑up entrance with a booth and scales-loads are weighed so tipping fees are based on weight rather than a flat per‑trip price. Pull up to the scale first and be prepared to stop again on the way out once you’ve dumped. The site is expansive with large open cells and heavy equipment working the piles; traffic can back up on weekends and after storms. Many Florida landfills separate yard waste areas, so hauling branches or grass may be routed differently than general trash.

- Plan for delays on weekends or right after storms; midweek mornings often move quicker if schedules allow.
- If hauling for a business, have load documentation and vehicle info ready since commercial loads are common and may be handled differently than residential drops.
