Choctaw County Solid Waste Landfill

2816 Prewitt Rd, Ackerman, MS 39735

(662) 387-4716

Small county landfill on Prewitt Road used by local residents and contractors hauling larger loads. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than a drop-off center, so expect vehicle traffic from pick-up trucks to roll-offs and dump trucks.

A staffed entrance booth and a scale are on site, so drivers typically stop to check in and get weighed before and after dumping; tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by bag. Drive slowly into the tipping area-there are bare dirt pads and compacted fill, not paved bays like a convenience center. The site looks utilitarian: berms, compacted piles, and heavy equipment working the cells, with traffic routing to keep incoming and outgoing trucks separated.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or tie down loose loads; wind can scatter lightweight trash on the short drive in.
  • Plan for some waiting during spring cleanups or weekends since bigger hauls and commercial trucks often queue up.
  • Have trailers backed up straight and be ready to move promptly after tipping so traffic keeps flowing.
