Reliable Landfill LLC on U.S. Hwy 190 in Livonia is the local landfill where trash gets buried and hauled away. Folks from around the parish, including homeowners and haulers, use places like this to drop off loads that won't fit in curbside cans. It’s a working site-expect trucks, piles of cover dirt, and heavy equipment moving about.
There’s usually a scale and an entrance booth area where trucks line up to be weighed; tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight. Pull up to the scalehouse or the lane leading to it and be ready to stop for a weight ticket, then head to the working face where material is dumped. The site itself is mostly gravel and dirt, with ruts and dust when it’s dry and muddy spots after rain. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly get backed up, so expect slow-moving traffic at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads tightly so debris doesn’t blow out on the highway or around the site.
- Plan for the scale process-arrive with the load ready to be dumped so traffic keeps moving.
- Wear sturdy boots and gloves; the ground is uneven and there’s heavy equipment nearby.
