Choctaw Road Landfill

Choctaw Road Landfill is the place trucks and pickup loads head when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled. Local residents and commercial haulers use it for final disposal in the Franklinton area. The site operates like a typical landfill serving the parish and surrounding communities.

Expect to stop at a scale and an entrance booth before pulling forward to the tipping area; fees are generally charged by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The property is large with open cells, compacted dirt roads and heavy equipment working the piles, and it can look muddy or soft after rain. Commercial trucks maneuver in and out alongside smaller vehicles, so take it slow when entering and follow the traffic flow. Because Louisiana landfills handle high-moisture waste and prepare for storms, there may be wet-weather protocols and temporary access changes during heavy rain or hurricane season.
