Stock Island Landfill on Unnamed Road in Key West is where residents and haulers bring trash that can't go in regular curbside pickup. People drop off everything from extra household junk to larger contractor loads. The site is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and operations can be affected by hurricane season.
You'll cross a scale on the way in and be charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. There's an entrance booth area and a clear route to the scale; after weighing, proceed to the drop-off areas indicated by signage. The place is large with heavy equipment, compacted piles and lots of truck traffic, so bring patience and watch for dust and noise. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and storm season can cause temporary closures or delays.
