Waste Facility
Natchitoches Parish Compactor Station
710 State Hwy 156, Goldonna, LA 71031
Small county compactor station serving Goldonna and nearby residents, set just off State Highway 156. Locals drop household and yard refuse here rather than hauling into town; the place feels like a working municipal site, not a retail operation.
Drive in from Hwy 156 and you'll see a simple drive-up area with a compacting container and a low concrete pad where trucks and trailers pull up. There's typically a small entrance booth or kiosk near the driveway and a clear spot to stop before unloading. The ground can get muddy after rain-Louisiana weather makes for a lot of wet, heavy loads-so trailers and pickups might need to be careful when maneuvering. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so expect a line at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose trash and yard debris with a tarp when the forecast looks wet; high moisture makes loads heavier and messier to handle.
- Bring something to protect flooring and tailgates when loading or unloading-mud and wet grass stick to everything out here.
- If towing a trailer, leave room to pull through and turn around; the pad area is functional but not oversized, so backing in can be tight.
