Three Rivers Landfill

Three Rivers Landfill is the regional landfill on MS-76 that handles final burial of municipal and larger loads from Pontotoc and surrounding counties. Local contractors and folks cleaning out barns or doing big home projects use it, as do county transfer services bringing consolidated loads. It’s a working landfill - big, open, and set up for heavy trucks and trailers.

Drive up to a scale house near the entrance where trucks are weighed to determine tipping fees, so expect to stop and be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. The site is mostly compacted cells and berms with wide dirt or gravel roads between them; expect some truck traffic and dusty conditions in dry weather. There’s usually a small booth or scale building at the front and sizable areas for pushing and covering material out back. Commercial loads are commonly handled at landfills of this scale, so large trucks and trailers are a normal sight.
