(225) 675-7000Gator Environmental Waste Solutions is the C&D landfill out on LA-70 in Sorrento, the place contractors and homeowners bring construction and demolition debris to be buried. It’s the kind of big open site with dirt roads and rolling piles of compacted material, used by local haulers and commercial trucks as well as anyone with a trailer load.
There’s a weigh scale and an entrance booth you’ll drive past-they charge by weight, so plan to stop there on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the booth, tell them what’s on the truck, then follow the paths to the working face or drop-off area; the site is large and mostly earth and compacted berms, not paved like a transfer station. Wet weather matters here-expect muddier conditions and slower dumping after heavy rain or during hurricane season since Louisiana sites run wet-weather protocols. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to get backed up, especially with commercial trucks sharing the same lanes as smaller haulers.
