Pecan Grove Landfill

Pecan Grove Landfill is the big burying spot outside Pass Christian where household trash and larger loads end up. Locals and commercial haulers alike use it when the smaller drop-off centers won’t take something or the load is too big for curbside pickup. Expect a working, no-frills facility rather than anything tidy or landscaped.

Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll likely be directed to a scale-this type of landfill charges tipping fees by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site stretches out with cells and working areas; dump spots are set apart from the traffic lanes and trucks, trailers, and pickups are common. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to sit near the entry road to the right or left of the booth. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have lines, so plan for a bit of waiting if traffic is heavy.
