Ronaldson Field Landfill

Ronaldson Field Landfill sits out on New Rafe Mayer Road in Baton Rouge and handles the heavier, wetter loads common around here. Local contractors and homeowners drop off everything from construction debris to yard waste, and the place is built for big trucks as much as pickups. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything polished.

There’s a weigh scale at the entrance so loads are charged by weight; drivers usually stop once coming in and again when leaving. A small gate/booth controls access and directs traffic, with lanes wide enough for roll-offs and dump trucks to maneuver. The tipping area is beyond the scale and looks like a large cleared cell where trucks back in and dump; active working faces and heavy equipment are common sights. Wet-weather protocols are typical here, so after storms the access roads and working areas can be muddy and slower to move through.
