White Oaks Landfill
White Oaks Landfill, 588 Meadowlark Drive, Monroe, 71203, Louisiana
White Oaks Landfill on 588 Meadowlark Drive in Monroe is the place people bring trash that ends up buried - homeowners, landscapers and contractors all use it. It’s a proper landfill rather than a transfer station, so expect the full-size site and heavy equipment in use.
There’s an entrance booth and scales; landfills like this typically charge tipping fees by weight or have a minimum fee, so be prepared to be weighed. Pull up to the booth and follow directions for the appropriate lane - trucks and small pickups usually have different paths. The site is mostly gravel with big machinery moving around and a working face where loads are dumped, then covered. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get busy, so lines and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads so nothing blows out on the way in; it speeds up inspections and keeps the site cleaner.
- Have items staged in the truck bed so heavy stuff goes out first; unloading in a tidy order saves time at the dump.
- Try for midweek or late-afternoon runs if possible-those times usually move faster than weekend mornings.
