Paris Henry County Landfill sits out on Jones Bend Road just past the county line and is the place locals and commercial haulers take trash that’s heading to final burial. People from Paris and nearby parts of Henry County use it for household cleanouts and contractor loads. It’s a working landfill - not a scenic stop - so expect practical, no-frills surroundings.
Drive up the entrance road toward a small booth and a vehicle scale; loads are handled by weight so you’ll stop on the scale at least once. The tipping area and working face are open and exposed, with heavy equipment moving around and piles of cover soil and refuse visible in plain sight. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are usually located near the entrance and off to one side. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and commercial trucks share the same access as residents.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads tightly before leaving home - wind and gravel can make a mess on the way in.
- Have an idea of whether the load is residential or commercial, since landfills typically charge by weight and commercial deliveries are common.
- Bring a flatbed or trailer that’s easy to tip or unload; the working area is basic and maneuvering around equipment is part of the routine.
