Timberlane Landfill

Timberlane Landfill is the Oakdale spot where trash gets buried - used by regular homeowners hauling junk and by haulers bringing commercial loads. It sits out on Landfill Rd, not tucked into town, so expect a working-site feel rather than anything fancy. Neighbors go here when they’ve got big cleanouts or contractors dropping off loads.

Drive up and you'll see a scale house near the entrance; landfills in Louisiana typically charge by weight and often have a minimum residential fee, so plan on stopping there. Pull up to the booth, get directed onto the scale, then head into the tipping area where mounds of compacted material and cover soil are visible. The site is open, dusty after dry spells and muddy when it’s been raining hard - storm prep is routine around here. Recycling or special drop-off spots tend to be off to one side, and traffic can back up on weekends or during big cleanout periods.
