Timberlane Landfill
Timberlane Landfill, 1158 Landfill Road, Oakdale, 71463, Louisiana
Timberlane Landfill is the town dump out on Landfill Road in Oakdale - the kind of place households and haulers use for bulk trash and construction debris. Big, open cells and heavy trucks are the norm here. Neighbors swing by for cleanouts and contractors pull in with larger loads.
There’s a small entrance booth and a scale, so plan to stop and be weighed; landfills this size typically charge tipping fees by weight or by load. After checking in, follow the wide dirt drive between the berms to the active tipping area where trucks back in to dump. The site looks industrial - compacted dirt, machinery, and piles rather than paved lanes or landscaped grounds. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect occasional backups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose items with a tarp so wind doesn’t scatter debris off the truck during the drive in and out.
- Try a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanups tend to have the longest lines.
- If hauling for work, have any business paperwork or load details ready and secure the load before pulling onto the scale to speed the process.
