Colonial Landfill

Colonial Landfill is the landfill off Unnamed Rd in Sorrento, LA where local residents and haulers bring trash and construction debris to be buried. It's a plain, working dump - not scenic, just the place stuff ends up when it can't be hauled away any other way. Neighbors, landscapers and small contractors all use it when they have loads to dispose of.

Drive in and look for a small entrance booth and a weigh scale; tipping fees at landfills are usually charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site has big dirt mounds and heavy machinery moving loads around, so take it slow and watch where trucks are backing up. Pull up to the scale lane and be ready to drive onto it; after weighing, most people are sent to a dumping area or a staging zone before the final weigh-out.
