PineBelt Transfer Station is the Hattiesburg transfer station where local household and small commercial loads are compacted and shipped out to a regional landfill. Neighbors who don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill use this place for quicker drop-offs. It sits on Gravel Pit Road near the outskirts of town and handles the typical town traffic on busy days.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway, so plan for a brief stop before heading in. Vehicles pull up, check in at the booth, then follow the drive to the tipping/compaction area where larger trucks take the load away. The site is industrial - big concrete bays, compactors, and heavy trucks moving about - and weekends or spring cleanups often have longer lines. Drive slowly through the yard and be ready to wait your turn at the unloading area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps before leaving home so nothing blows out while driving and unloading.
- Sort and stage items in the truck bed or trailer beforehand to make unloading faster once at the tipping area.
- Try to avoid mid-morning weekend trips if possible; early weekday runs or early mornings usually move faster when the town is quieter.
