Leflore County Landfill is the county landfill out on US 49 near Sidon that handles the final burial of household and commercial trash. Local residents and haulers from around Gulfport and surrounding rural areas bring larger loads here rather than the small convenience centers.
A drive-up scale booth greets vehicles so loads are weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight, meaning there’s usually a stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large and open with cells and rolling dirt pushes visible from the entrance; commercial trucks and trailers are common. Pull up to the booth first, get directed where to dump, then follow the haul road to the working face. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have longer lines, so expect some wait if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads before the drive; windblown trash is a hassle for everyone at the site.
- Bring a photo ID and paperwork for commercial loads if hauling for a business-haulers are routinely asked for verification.
- Arrive early on busy weekends to avoid long lines and to get a clearer spot to maneuver large trailers.
