Magnolia Landfill LLC is the county-scale landfill just off MS-48 that locals and haulers use when things need to be buried rather than recycled. It handles both household drop-offs and commercial loads, so expect semi traffic alongside pickup trucks. The place looks like a typical rural landfill - big, open cells and heavy equipment working the piles.
Drive in past a small entrance booth and follow the drive toward the tipping face; there’s a vehicle scale to stop on, so prepare to pull on and off it. The site has room for turning larger trucks, but maneuvering can be tight near the working area, so take it slow. Loads are charged by weight with a minimum tipping fee common at landfills, meaning a quick stop on the scale both entering and exiting is normal. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, will usually sit off to one side near the entrance road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads well; loose debris blows and creates extra mess and delays for everyone.
- Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanups - queues and truck traffic can slow you down.
- Approach the scale slowly and have a plan for where to tip so actors on site aren’t blocking heavy equipment or incoming trucks.
