County-run landfill serving Olive Branch and surrounding areas, used by homeowners clearing out big loads and by commercial haulers dropping off larger pickups. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than recycled, so bring loads meant for disposal rather than items you want recycled or salvaged.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be ready to pull onto a scale; tipping fees are handled by weight at facilities like this, so expect an in/out weigh. The site is large and open with rows of working cells and heavy equipment moving dirt and compacting loads; follow the attendants’ directions for where to tip. There are typically separate spots for recyclables or special drop-offs a short way from the main disposal area, and weekends-especially during spring cleanup-can have lineups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material and tarp loads if hauling in windy weather; loose debris can be rejected or create extra hassle on-site.
- If hauling commercially, bring any required manifest or business paperwork; many county landfills have a separate process for commercial accounts.
- Avoid the busiest weekend hours if possible-midday Saturdays fill up-and have your vehicle tarps and straps ready so unloading goes quickly.
