Union Parish Sanitary Landfill

Union Parish Sanitary Landfill on Landfill Road in Farmerville is the local place where trash that gets buried ends up. Landfills like this are used by residents, contractors, and haulers; tipping fees are typically assessed by weight and commercial loads are commonly accepted. Expect a working, no-frills site-more trucks and dirt than anything else.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and you'll usually be directed over the scale so the load can be weighed; the fee is based on that weight. After weighing, vehicles are sent to the active dumping area to unload and then often back over the scale to finish out. The site is mostly open cells and compacted mounds, dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with heavy equipment moving around. Be prepared to follow staff directions and watch for large trucks while getting in and out.
