Lee County Solid Waste Department

Lee County Solid Waste Department in Tupelo is the county solid waste site people from around the area use for household trash, yard clippings, and other general cleanups. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with a truck or trailer when curbside pickup won’t cut it. Expect a utilitarian setup rather than anything fancy.

Drive up to a main entrance with a small booth or gate area and a driveway that leads into the working part of the site. There are usually rows of roll-off containers, piles for yard material, and a few covered bays or open concrete pads for dropping different kinds of loads. Vehicles pull up, unload into the appropriate container or pile, and then exit-so be ready to back up a short distance or hop out to guide a trailer. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, and the whole place looks like a practical, dusty work area more than a neat recycling center.
