Jackson City Landfill is the municipal landfill off I-55 South Frontage Rd in Byram, where neighborhood cleanouts and commercial hauls end up. Locals and haulers both use it - it's the place trucks and pickup loads go when trash needs to be buried.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, and vehicles are typically weighed so tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is big and open, with heavy equipment and dump trailers moving around; the active dumping area is a cleared strip where trucks back in to tip. Plan on some dust and uneven ground while unloading, and expect to stop at the scale (often more than once) during the visit. Pull up to the booth first, then follow the traffic flow to the dumping face and back to the scale.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads before leaving home - loose debris blows around and makes everything slower and messier.
- Keep bulky items and loose trash separated in the truck bed; having things staged makes unloading quicker.
- Skip peak times when possible: weekends and spring cleanup periods tend to have the longest lines and the most big rigs.
