Vermilion Parish Landfill

Vermilion Parish Landfill on Birch Road in Abbeville is the parish landfill where garbage gets buried and heavy loads from around the area end up. Locals and haulers use it for household cleanouts and larger commercial deliveries alike, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and roll-off trucks in the yard.

There’s a scale house/booth near the entrance and vehicles are weighed, so plan for a stop on the way in and usually again on the way out - tipping fees are based on that weight. After weighing, drivers pull up to the active tipping area where the ground is mostly compacted dirt and mounded cells, with heavy equipment moving around. The site looks like a working yard rather than a tidy transfer station: mud when it rains, dusty in dry conditions, and trucks lining up at busier times. Weekends and spring cleanup periods get the longest lines, so expect some delay then.
