Florence County Landfill Services on Don McCain Drive is the county landfill where residents, haulers and contractors bring loads that will be buried. People come when curbside pickup won't do - pickups, trailers and roll‑offs are a common sight. Expect a working, open site with heavy equipment moving around.
There’s an entrance scale and a booth; most landfills use a weight‑based tipping fee structure, so plan on being weighed. Pull up slowly to the scale and be ready to stop again on the way out after dumping. The site is mostly dirt and gravel with compacted trash piles and loaders, so give large vehicles lots of space. Commercial loads are regularly handled at county landfills, so don’t be surprised to see semi‑trailers and roll‑offs alongside residential trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material - wind and passing trucks can blow debris off a load.
- Wear sturdy shoes and work gloves; surfaces are uneven and can be muddy or dusty depending on the weather.
- Keep any weight ticket or receipt for business records, and allow extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup when lines tend to form.
