EBR Parish North Landfill
EBR Parish North Landfill, 16001 Samuels Road, Zachary, 70791, Louisiana
EBR Parish North Landfill on Samuels Road in Zachary is the parish landfill serving the north side - used by homeowners and local haulers. It’s a big, open site way out near the edge of town with the usual entrance booth and scale.
Expect to stop at the booth and drive across a scale - landfills like this charge by weight, so there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out. Vehicles often form lanes to wait their turn; allow extra room if hauling a trailer or driving a pickup. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with large piles of compacted material, so it looks industrial rather than tidy. Tipping fees follow a weight-based structure, and facilities of this size typically have separate rates for residential versus commercial loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps - loose debris blows easily and makes unloading messier than it needs to be.
- Have an idea of the size of your load (truck bed, single-axle trailer, box truck) so weight estimates are easier when you pull onto the scale.
- Avoid weekend mornings and peak spring-cleanup times if possible; lines can back up and turnaround takes longer.
