Woodside RDF is the local disposal site on Woodside Drive that Walker residents use for household and yard loads. Located just off the main road, it handles community trash and typical pickup truck-size drops. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything polished.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to slow down - there's a scale that most trucks cross, so plan on stopping again after unloading. The site is open-air with piles and compactors visible from the driveway; surfaces can be muddy after rain because of Louisiana's high-moisture loads. Recycling or drop-off bins sit to the side past the booth, and traffic lines up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Hurricane-season prep is obvious: extra sandbags and raised equipment in wetter months.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose material; wet pile runoff and wind can scatter lightweight debris.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible - weekends and spring cleanups back up quickly.
- Expect to be routed through a scale and to drive back past the booth after unloading, so keep haul documentation and vehicle access clear.
