Acadia Parish Sanitary Landfill

Acadia Parish Sanitary Landfill in Egan is the parish landfill at 611 Petal Road where folks bring household junk, contractor loads, and anything curbside pickup won't take. Neighbors use it for big cleanouts and for dumping loads that need to be buried rather than recycled.

There’s typically a small entrance area with a booth and a drive-on scale; loads are charged by weight, so expect to cross the scale and stop again on the way out. Pull up near the booth/scale to check in, then you’ll be directed toward the active dumping area - the tipping faces are open and often dusty. Heavy equipment (loaders and compactors) works the piles, so watch for truck traffic and uneven ground. Weekends and spring-cleanup times see the longest lines, and the site looks like compacted soil, cover dirt, and staged waste cells rather than a tidy recycling center.
