Hickory Hill Landfill is the Ridgeland spot where trash finally gets buried; both local residents and commercial haulers bring loads here. It’s a working landfill on Low Country Drive serving Jasper County and nearby areas, so expect a big, industrial-feeling site rather than a tidy drop-off center.
Drive up to an entrance area with a weigh scale and an attendant booth; tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills like this, with a typical residential minimum and separate commercial rates. Vehicles will usually be weighed and directed to an active cell or unloading area where trucks and compacting equipment are moving. The property is mostly graded dirt and cover material with visible mounds and working faces, and lines can back up on weekends or around hurricane-prep periods when coastal residents clear out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris can spill on the road and will slow unloading.
- Bring identification and proof of residency or business paperwork if required by county facilities-many county-run sites ask for it at the booth.
- Allow extra time on weekends and before storms, and bring a passenger to help direct backing or unloading if the load is bulky.
