Simpson County Rubbish Facility

Small, county-run spot that people from around Mendenhall use to get rid of household trash and the odd pickup-load. It has the feel of a no-frills convenience center out on Frank and Ward Mc Lendon Road, mostly serving residents from Simpson County.

Pull in off the highway onto a modest driveway with a gravel lot and a few marked lanes. There’s typically a small entrance booth and drop-off areas rather than a fancy building-bring something you can lift or have a friend help with big stuff. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of traffic then; crews move loads steadily but it can be slow when several trucks are ahead. Recycling and bulky-item spots are usually separate from the regular trash area, so look for different piles or containers once inside the site.
