Acadia Parish's landfill is the Acadia Parish Sanitary Landfill at 611 Petal Road in Egan, run by the Police Jury's Solid Waste Department. It's open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There are no tipping fees: parish tax propositions pay for the landfill. The catch is that it takes only waste generated in Acadia Parish.

Acadia Parish waste only. Roll-off and contractor loads must be inspected where the waste is generated first: call (337) 250-8845. Loads without the paperwork are turned away.
Under the landfill's permit and the tax propositions that fund it, only waste generated within Acadia Parish may be dumped. Because a free landfill tempts haulers from other parishes, every commercial roll-off and contractor load has to be inspected at the point of generation by the parish's waste inspection officer before it can enter. Call (337) 250-8845 to schedule an inspection; the officer confirms the type and amount of waste and gives you paperwork to show at the gate. Loads without it are rejected, and anyone who tries to sneak in outside waste can be fined.
The Solid Waste Department also runs recycling centers around the parish.
Louisiana law keeps car batteries out of household trash (stores that sell them must take old ones back), bars whole, unprocessed tires from landfills, and requires appliances (white goods) to go to a collection or recycling site rather than a landfill.
