A county landfill just outside Abbeville where household trash and commercial loads end up buried. Local folks, landscapers and small haulers use this place when curbside pickup won’t do. It’s a working landfill on a farm-road address, not a tidy drop-off center.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so plan to stop and be weighed before and after dumping since fees are typically calculated by weight. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the haul road to the active tip area; the ground can be gravel and dusty. Loads are driven to a drop zone where material is pushed and buried, and then drivers return to the scale to finish the transaction. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so expect some waiting if timing is tight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps so debris doesn’t blow out on the access road.
- Allow extra time on weekends or during seasonal cleanups; lines at the scale are common.
- If hauling commercial loads, have any required paperwork or manifests handy so the check-in goes quicker.
