Tishomingo County Landfill is the county landfill out on Co. Rd. 147 that locals and small haulers use when convenience centers won’t take something. It’s the kind of place for full loads and things that need to be buried rather than recycled.
The site is a working landfill - think large open cells and heavy equipment moving dirt and compacted trash. There’s usually a scale and an entrance booth where loads are checked and tipped by weight, so expect to stop twice if the scale is in use. Commercial-style trucks are commonly handled at county landfills, with tipping fees assessed by weight; residential drop-offs tend to be smaller but still go the same way. The drive-in area is gravel and wide enough for trailers, and the recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are generally off to the side past the booth.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and straps on loads - loose debris gets fined at many county sites and makes for a mess on the road.
- Bring a copy of any load paperwork if hauling commercial material; having it ready makes the weigh-in move quicker.
- Plan for slow times on weekends and during spring cleanup; expect a line if several pickups or trailers are there at once.
