A county landfill just outside Booneville where locals and small haulers bring trash that gets buried on site. Landfills like this are used by residents and commercial carriers who need a final-disposal option rather than a drop-off convenience center.
There’s usually a scale to stop on - tipping fees are charged by weight at facilities of this type, so expect to stop twice (in and out) if that’s how they operate here. Pull up to the entrance/booth area first for direction, then drive to the active dumping area; the site is mostly bare ground, compacted dirt, and working equipment. Loads are driven to a cell or working face and dumped, then traffic returns to the scale; large commercial trucks are commonly handled at county landfills.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before leaving home - wind can turn a small load into a scattered mess on the road and at the site.
- Have a plan for how the load will be dumped so drivers at the site aren’t stalled trying to rearrange items; faster turns are better when it’s busy.
- Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so expect lines and bring water and sturdy shoes if standing outside is likely.
