Waste Management - DeLand Landfill

This is the DeLand landfill run by Waste Management, the large place where stuff gets buried and heavier commercial trucks roll through alongside pickups from residents. Locals drop off construction debris, big cleanouts and yard waste here, especially after storms when the yard-waste pile gets busy. It's a working landfill on the edge of town, not a neighborhood recycling center.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop at a scale-vehicles are weighed, and tipping fees are charged by weight so you’ll stop again leaving. There’s a clear road in for trucks and a separate area where piles of yard waste or green debris usually sit; during hurricane season those piles can be much larger than normal. The site is big and dusty, with heavy equipment moving earth and pushing loads into cells, so slow down and follow traffic patterns. Commercial loads are accommodated alongside residential drop-offs, so expect to see dump trucks and trailers mixed in with pickup trucks hauling household junk.
