Firetower Landfill at 8280 Firetower Road is the landfill that handles Pass Christian’s trash-used by residential folks and commercial haulers alike. It’s the place where loads get buried rather than a small drop-off center, so expect the scale and heavy equipment you’d expect at a full landfill.
The site looks like a working landfill: large dirt piles, heavy machinery, and open tipping faces. There’s typically an entrance lane with a scale or booth area where vehicles pause to be weighed; tipping fees are generally charged by weight so a stop on the way in and out is common. The ground can get rough or muddy after rain and larger trucks need room to back in, so maneuvering takes a bit of attention. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, often have lines and slower traffic flow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps so nothing blows off on the road and unloading goes faster.
- Allow extra time on weekends or spring cleanup days-lines and slow-moving trucks are common.
- Bring gloves and a shovel or a helper; loose debris and uneven ground are usual when tipping.
