Small but active landfill just off Bowdre Road serving Tunica Resorts and surrounding parts of Tunica County. Locals and small haulers drop household and commercial loads here since it's the final place trash gets buried. Expect a working site rather than anything fancy.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll likely be directed toward a scale to be weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, so trucks usually stop twice. The site is large, with open working cells and heavy equipment moving materials around; bring a truck that can handle rough gravel ramps. Big commercial loads are handled here, so plan for other big haulers and occasional queues. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are set off near the entry area rather than mixed in with the landfill traffic.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs; wind and shifting loads are common when unloading at the active face.
- Keep an eye on traffic flow - heavy equipment and side-dumping trucks make the lanes narrow, so take it slow pulling up to the scale.
- Have paperwork or load details ready for the attendant to speed the weigh-in and exit process.
