St. Landry Parish Landfill
St. Landry Parish Landfill, 417 Solid Waste Road, Washington, 70589, Louisiana
St. Landry Parish Landfill on Solid Waste Road in Washington is the parish landfill where residents, landscapers and haulers bring trash. It handles everything from small household drops to larger commercial loads coming through the area.
A small entrance booth and a scale sit at the gate - landfills typically charge tipping fees based on weight, so expect to stop to be weighed. The property is large and open with dirt roads, rolling mounds and heavy equipment working around the site, so drive slowly and watch for traffic. Follow posted signs to the active dumping area, dump where appropriate, then return to the scale for the outbound weigh. In wet weather the site can get muddy and dusty, with plenty of room for big trucks to maneuver.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie-downs - loose garbage and light items will shift or blow during the drive in and out.
- Aim for a weekday morning when possible; weekends and spring cleanup days usually have the longest waits.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves and be prepared for uneven, muddy ground and loose debris around dumping areas.
