Big River Landfill

Big River Landfill on Landfill Road in Leland is the local burial site for trash and bulky loads, used by homeowners with big pickups and by commercial haulers. The place is exactly what it says - a landfill where material gets buried rather than processed. Expect an industrial, working-site feel rather than anything neat or landscaped.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and a visible scale; tipping fees are handled by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed on the way in and again on the way out. The dumping area is a large, gravel lot with heavy trucks and earthmoving equipment moving dirt and cover material around. Commercial loads are accepted, so it’s common to see big trailers alongside pickup trucks. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the whole site smells and looks like a busy, functional landfill rather than a tidy drop-off.
