A plain, working dump that handles neighborhood trash and yard debris for folks around Shreveport. Short drive off Mayo Road, used mostly by residents dropping off household loads and small pickup-hauls. Locals swing by for cleanups and storm debris after heavy weather.
Expect a gravel-and-dirt lot that gets muddy in wet weather; Louisiana humidity and storms make the ground soft. There’s usually an entrance area where vehicles slow down to check in and an outbound stop for weighing - plan on stopping twice if the place uses a scale. Drive slowly through the site; trucks, trailers, and piles of brush sit around, and lanes can be narrow. Weekend mornings and post-storm days commonly get backed up, so lines form and maneuvering takes a little patience.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads with a tarp if the forecast looks stormy - wet trash is heavier and messier, and tarps keep debris from blowing out on the road.
- Bring work gloves and wear boots with decent tread; the ground is often slick or rutted after rain, and stepping down into piles is common.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or the day after storms when possible; if towing a trailer, leave extra space to back up and line up early for an easier spot.
