Village Dump Site is the local dump listed under Ville Platte but located at 6973 St Landry Hwy in Pine Prairie. Residents from around town bring household junk and cleanup piles here. It’s a basic, no-frills spot most people use when clearing out a truck or trailer.
There’s a small entrance booth to stop at before driving into the main lot. After that, pull in slowly and follow other vehicles to where people are unloading; the ground is mostly open dirt and can be uneven. Expect to be around trucks and trailers-give big rigs plenty of room to turn. The site looks practical rather than tidy, with piles and containers clearly visible from the driving lanes.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
- Sort bulky pieces from bagged trash ahead of time; grouped loads get unloaded a lot faster.
- Bring a photo ID or proof of local address in case it’s requested, and avoid weekends or spring-cleanup times if possible since those get busy.
