Four stars? For a dump? Yep. I've been to some pretty bad dumps in my time and this one is pretty nice, as dumps go. Turning into the dump ("landfill" is euphemistic, but "dump" adequately describes the place and activity), you're faced with a right-hand shoulder, upon which you uncover your load of refuse...if you've bothered tarping your load at all. Do that, if you've been a responsible citizen. Get back in your vehicle and you're looking at a 90-degree left-hand turn to get to the scale. In that turn, there are two important points of interest. You'll first encounter the drop-off point for substances with VOCs and other toxic chemicals. Drop off your electronics, paint, solvents, and other crap like that. No charge for this. When you straighten out after the left, there's a recycling receptacle for aluminum, paper, glass, etc. Pull off here if you have your load segregated, because every pound that you jettison before the scale is a pound that you don't pay for. Nice folks at the scales. Get weighed, get interrogated about what you are dumping, get a card with a number that identifies your weigh-in. They'll tell you where to go to get rid of your stuff, depending on the nature of your trash. Food and potentially hazardous stuff goes in lined pits in the back, to the right. You don't want to go there. There are approximately one bajillion buzzards, a stench that'll make you wretch, and it is just nasty. Yes, it's a dump everywhere, but this drop-off is disgusting. Compost this sort of trash, grind it in your garbage disposal, or throw it over the fence to your neighbor's dogs. If you have standard household stuff, you may be directed to the ramp on the right with pull-on dumpsters. This is convenient if you don't have a trailer, but a PITA otherwise. It's basically the same category as the last location, where you back up your trailer and just throw crap over your shoulder...makes no difference where it goes, because you're parked on a mountain of trash. Class III, I think they call that. The dumpsters, however, require some finesse...you have to aim and make your toss. I want a prize. If you, like me, don't have trash service at your casa, the dump is your only option. Er...it's your only responsible option. For a month of trash, it costs less than $4. Pretty cheap, all considered. Get weighed on the out-bound scale, hand them your number card, they'll tell you what you owe them. It's retarded that they don't round off to the nearest quarter or dime. My bill is always something random like $4.23. Seriously, knock it off with the pennies, nickles, and dimes. read more

Santa Rosa County Central Landfill - Le sign. - Public Services & Government Near Me - Milton, Florida

Great landfill. I have lived in quite a few places, and this is by far the best landfill. They have an excellent hazardous waste and appliance drop off at the entrance. You can drop off nearly anything, and if it is usable they put it out for anyone to take so it gets reused. If you need paint, chemicals, etc. you can come here and browse the collection and take anything you need at no charge. Great idea. Run by very friendly and helpful people. Keep up the good work! read more
