Walnut Landfill

Walnut Landfill is the big burial site for household and hauler garbage serving Walnut and the surrounding rural area. Locals and commercial trucks both use it, since rural towns in Mississippi lean on county or regional landfills for final disposal. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything public-facing or tidy.

This is a true landfill - dirt piles, compactors in the distance, and open cells where material gets buried. There’s typically a scale and scale house at the entrance on sites like this, so drivers pull up, get weighed and then pull through again after unloading; tipping fees are usually charged by weight rather than by load. Vehicles line up on busy weekends and during spring cleanups, so plan for a short wait; traffic for commercial rigs moves slower because of size and maneuvering. The grounds are mostly gravel and dirt, so bring patience and a vehicle that can handle uneven surfaces.
