A working landfill on LA-70 that locals and haulers use to bury municipal and commercial trash. Big enough to see the face of active cells from the road, it handles the heavy, wet loads common around here and sees steady truck traffic.
Drive up to an entrance booth and prepare to be weighed on a large scale - tipping fees are charged by weight with a standard landfill fee structure, and commercial loads are accepted. The drop-off area is open and gravelly, with heavy equipment moving around and piles or compacted cells visible; expect slow, deliberate traffic as trucks maneuver. Because Louisiana sites deal with high moisture, the ground can get soft after rain and operations may follow wet-weather protocols.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps for loose or wet loads - wind and rain can scatter material and make unloading messier than it looks.
- Plan to arrive during weekday mornings if possible; weekends and spring cleanups often mean a line at the scale and slower processing.
- Have vehicle paperwork and load info ready for the scale booth to speed things along, and watch for heavy equipment when pulling up to the tip face.
