Leflore County Landfill sits out on Highway 49 E in Sidon and is the county landfill where trash and construction debris end up being buried. People from the town, landscapers and haulers all use it - landfills like this commonly accept commercial loads and have a tipping-fee structure rather than a flat per-trip charge. The place looks like a working landfill rather than a drop-off center, so expect truck traffic and earthwork around the active cells.
Drive in off 15200 Highway 49 E toward an entrance area with a booth and a scale; tipping fees are typically calculated by weight, so there’s usually a stop at the scale and another stop as you leave. Pull up to the booth/scale area and follow the vehicle flow-large trucks share the same lanes as pickups. The site will feel industrial: access roads, piled cells, and heavy equipment nearby; keep a safe distance and watch for moving machinery. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are often near the entrance rather than tucked back in the working area.
