Get Directions

Tensas Parish Landfill on Parish Road 307 (Walker Road) in St. Joseph is the parish dump where locals and contractors bring full loads that need burying. Small pickup loads, trailers and commercial trucks all show up here; it’s not a casual curbside drop-off spot.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth-drivers usually pull onto the scale first and are weighed, then head to the unloading area and get weighed again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is a working dirt operation with compacted cells, piles of cover soil and the occasional heavy equipment moving things around. Plan to back into a dumping spot or follow directions from the booth; lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup so wait times can be noticeable.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads so loose debris doesn’t blow off while driving or at the site; it saves time and keeps the crew happier.
  • Sort bulky items from loose trash before getting to the gate so unloading is quicker - separates make the whole process faster.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup days if possible; midweek or late-morning runs are usually quicker.
