Landfill

Agriculture Street Landfill

3000 Press St, New Orleans, LA 70126

Small to mid‑sized landfill out on Press Street that locals and haulers use when there’s no other place nearby. Truck traffic is common-everything from pickup loads to commercial tip trucks shows up here. It’s the kind of place where people drop off what’s headed to the burial cells.

There’s a weigh scale and an entry booth near the road, so plan to stop and pull up to that area first; most trucks double‑check the scale on the way out. The site is open, dusty or muddy depending on rain, with large earth mounds and compacting equipment visible from the drive; expect heavy equipment noises. Tipping fees are handled in the usual landfill way (charged by weight or volume), and commercial loads are accepted, so don’t be surprised by big roll‑offs and dump trucks. Because this is Louisiana, wet‑weather and hurricane protocols are part of how the place runs, so conditions can change quickly after storms.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps well-loads get wet and muddy here, especially after rain or high humidity.
  • Allow extra time on weekends and during post‑storm cleanups; lines can back up at the weigh station.
  • Have paperwork ready if hauling commercial loads, and be prepared for uneven, soft ground near tipping areas after wet weather.
