Jeff David Landfill

16001-, 16999 Landfill Rd, Welsh, LA 70591

Jeff David Landfill is the municipal landfill out past town that handles household and commercial trash for the Welsh area. Locals, landscapers, and haulers bring loads here to be buried - it's a working landfill with heavy equipment and open cells.

Drive up Landfill Road and you’ll see an entrance booth and a scale; vehicles stop at the booth and then cross the scale, because tipping fees are assessed by weight and there’s usually another weigh-out on the way out. The site is large with visible compactors and bulldozers moving material, and cells and dirt berms shape the working area. In wet weather things get muddy and access roads can be sloppy; hurricane season means the place runs wet-weather protocols more often than not. Commercial trucks are handled here alongside residential drop-offs, so expect traffic from larger haulers at times.

Before You Go

  • Have loads covered and tarped if hauling loose debris - loose material can blow and create extra cleanup.
  • Leave some extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup; lines at the booth and scale can back up.
  • Bring a phone with a photo of any paperwork or truck tare weights, since there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out process and it helps to have records.
