A working landfill on a large footprint just off S Kenner Ave that handles household and commercial loads. Locals and haulers both use this place for final disposal, and the site is built to handle Louisiana's wet conditions and hurricane season.
Drive up to a scalehouse/entrance booth where trucks are weighed and directed - weight-based tipping fees are the norm here, so expect to stop twice: once in and once out. The property feels expansive with dirt roads and visible lined cells or mounds; after wet weather some lanes may be muddier than others. Commercial trucks are accepted, and bigger loads are common, so give extra space when pulling in or backing up. Site staff manage vehicle flow from the booth, and there are usually clear paths to the tipping face or disposal area.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads: windy conditions and loose debris are common, and tarps help avoid fines or lost material in transit.
- Plan for delays on weekends and right after storms-lines can form and traffic control for large trucks becomes slower.
- Have paperwork and load details ready for the scalehouse; knowing whether a load is commercial or residential will speed the process.
