White Oaks Landfill in Monroe is the local burying site for household and commercial trash and is used by contractors, haulers, and residents clearing out big loads. Located at 588 Meadowlark Dr, it’s a working landfill-big, noisy, and plainly industrial, not a tidy transfer station or recycling center.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and you'll be guided toward a weigh scale; tipping fees are calculated by weight so expect to stop there both in and out. The site is large-open cells and earth-moving equipment are visible from the roadway, especially on dry days when truck traffic is steady. Commercial loads are accepted, so there will often be dump trucks and roll-offs coming through; residential pickups and trailers share the same flow. During wet weather the surface gets slick and operations can slow, since Louisiana facilities routinely switch to wet-weather protocols.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a load plan so unloading is quick-watch where other trucks go and follow their path to the active cell.
- If hauling in a trailer, tie down loose debris; wind and passing trucks can toss stuff around on the approach.
- Expect delays on weekends and seasonal cleanup times; lineups usually form at the entrance and by the scale.
