C & D Landfill

5000 US-90, Westwego, LA 70094

(504) 436-1632

C & D Landfill is the big burial site out on US-90 that locals and commercial haulers use when the trash won’t fit in the bin. Trucks and contractors drop off loads here as well as people with larger residential cleanouts. The place is built for handling Louisiana’s wetter-than-average waste, so expect the operators to follow wet-weather and hurricane-prep routines.

There’s a scale you’ll drive across - tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles usually stop twice: once in and once out. The entrance has a booth and a traffic flow that guides loads toward the working face and dumping areas; the site itself looks like layered dirt cells with heavy equipment moving piles around. During rainy stretches the ground can be muddy and operations slow down; high-moisture loads are common, so seeing soggy material and water management equipment is normal. Commercial trucks are accepted and there’s enough scale and space for semi traffic, though lines can form at busy times.

Before You Go

  • Anticipate stopping on the scale both entering and leaving - plan for a brief wait, especially if hauling a big load.
  • Bring tie-downs and tarps that can handle wet conditions; loose, soggy debris tends to shift and make a mess during transit.
  • Weekends and seasonal cleanups get busy; if hauling a commercial load, allow extra time for queuing and slower tipping when the ground is soft.
