Trail Ridge Landfill Inc.

Trail Ridge Landfill is the big landfill off U.S. 301 in Baldwin where residential and commercial loads get buried. Locals and contractors from Jacksonville haul everything from pickup loads to larger truck deliveries here. It’s literally the final resting place for non‑recycled trash in the area.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and a scale; expect to be weighed so plan on stopping more than once. The site is expansive with dirt roads, large compacted mounds and steady truck traffic, so take it slow and watch for big vehicles. Tipping fees are structured by weight like most landfills, so having a rough sense of how heavy the load is helps. Be aware that hurricane season and post‑storm cleanups can make the place busy or cause temporary closures.
