Tomoka Landfill is the big Port Orange place where residential and commercial loads end up for burial; locals and contractors both bring trucks and trailers here. Located off Tomoka Farms Road, it handles a steady flow year-round and gets particularly busy after storms and spring cleanups.
Drive up the entrance road and you'll pass a scale - the site charges by weight so make sure your load is secured before you stop. There's a small booth/scalehouse where vehicles check in and either head to unloading areas or get directed to yard-waste or general fill sections. The site is large, with dirt roads and compacted fill areas visible from the main lanes; expect to see heavy equipment moving piles around. Weekends and post-hurricane periods have the longest lines, so be ready for a wait if traffic is heavy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose material and tarp light loads - wind can spread debris on the drive and create extra hassle when pulling up to the scale.
- Have the truck bed accessible and any paperwork handy so the check-in at the scalehouse goes faster.
- Bring a sturdy vehicle and ride height that can handle gravel and ruts; parking areas and access lanes can be rough, especially after wet weather.
