Acadiana Landfill

A regional landfill just off I-49 that handles neighborhood cleanouts and larger commercial hauls. Drivers from Carencro and nearby towns drop off household debris, construction material, and business loads here. It’s the kind of place where trucks line up and big earthworks dominate the view.

There’s a scale house you’ll stop at - tipping fees are typically calculated by weight, so expect to cross a scale on the way in and again on the way out. The entry has a small booth and a gate; after checking in, trucks pull up to clearly visible disposal faces and open cells where loads are spread and buried. The site is large with heavy equipment moving around, so watch for loaders and haul trucks and follow any painted arrows or flaggers directing traffic. Because this is in Louisiana, the site operates with wet-weather and hurricane-preparedness measures, so conditions can get muddy and parts of the working area may be inaccessible after heavy rains.
