Three Rivers Regional Landfill is the big county landfill off Pontotoc Parkway West that locals and haulers use when garbage needs to be buried. It handles everything from pickup-truck loads to large commercial rigs and operates with the usual tipping-fee setup tied to the site scale. Expect weight-based charges and a small minimum for residential drops at places like this.
Drive up to an entrance booth and then over a scale-vehicles are weighed so plan on a stop coming and going. The site is expansive: dirt roads, piles of compacted trash, and front-end loaders moving material around. After weighing, vehicles are routed to a tipping area to unload and then typically cross the scale again. Watch for loose gravel, wide turning radiuses, and other heavy equipment while maneuvering a trailer or truck.
