Jackson Parish Solid Waste in Quitman is the local place people use when cleaning out a yard, emptying a house, or dropping off bagged household trash and recyclables. Residents and small haulers tend to show up, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
Pull in off Par Rd 80 and you'll see the entrance area with a small booth and a scale where loads are typically checked and weighed. There are open tipping areas and piles for different materials; recycling containers are usually set off to one side while yard debris sits in larger windrows. The surface is mostly gravel and can get soft or muddy after heavy rain, so trucks with low clearance might have trouble. Hurricane season changes how things look-expect extra tarps, covered piles, and wet-weather precautions around the site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials sorted by general type before pulling up to save time once at the booths or drop-off points.
- Bring something to secure loose loads; wind and sudden showers are common in this part of Louisiana.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible, because lines and wait times get longer.
