Paris-Henry County Landfill
Paris-Henry County Landfill, 1140 Jones Bend Rd, Paris, 38344, Tennessee
Paris-Henry County Landfill sits off Jones Bend Road in Paris. Local homeowners and commercial haulers take trash here to be buried; it’s a full-scale county landfill rather than a small drop-off site.
There’s a small scale house/booth by the entrance and vehicles are weighed, so expect to stop at the scale and have tipping fees calculated by weight. After weighing, vehicles move out to the active dumping area to unload while bulldozers and other heavy equipment work the site. The layout is wide open-dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain-so give trucks plenty of room to maneuver.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and loosely sort the load before pulling up so unloading goes faster and doesn’t hold up traffic.
- Plan for the scale: tipping fees are based on weight and commercial trucks are common, so allow extra time if hauling a big load.
- Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves and a tarp - ground conditions can be rough and items often need a hand getting out of a truck bed.
