Landfill, or transfer station: a drop-off site that trucks the waste on to a landfill

A guess is fine; the scale decides

Not sure of the weight? A standard pickup bed (6½ × 5 ft) piled 2 ft high with household junk is about 660 lbs on the federal EPA factors; a fridge alone is about 250 lbs. Measure your load instead.

Orange County Utilities runs the Orange County Landfill and two transfer stations, Porter and McLeod Road, and under the rates effective October 1, 2026 all three charge $56.40 a ton for Class I household garbage, with a $10 minimum. A light pickup load therefore costs little more than the minimum. Yard waste is $48.70 a ton at the landfill, but pays the garbage rate at a transfer station. Class III material, meaning construction debris, furniture and clean fill, goes to the landfill only, at $42.70 a ton. Passenger tires are $3 each up to 8. Elsewhere in Florida the spread is wide: Miami-Dade charges $119.51 a ton to non-contract customers, while Jacksonville’s Trail Ridge Landfill lists $30.30 a ton, with a one-dollar charge for the first 500 lbs.

Orange County, from October 1, 2026

Orange County Utilities, Solid Waste (public): Orange County Landfill, Porter and McLeod Road transfer stations fee schedule, effective October 1, 2026, read on November 7, 2026.
Line of the price listFee

Yard waste$48.70 a ton, $10 minimum
Construction debris (Class III: construction and demolition debris, furniture, clean fill; landfill only)$42.70 a ton
Passenger tire$3 each, 8 at most

Orange County charges the same garbage rate at the landfill and at the transfer stations, so the nearest site is the right one for ordinary trash. The landfill is the only one of the three that takes construction debris and furniture at the Class III rate and yard waste at its own rate, so for those loads the drive may be worth it. More than eight tires, or truck tires, are charged by the ton at a much higher rate.

Questions people ask before a run to the dump

Tap a question to see the answer.

Where should Orlando residents take furniture and construction debris?

To the Orange County Landfill, which takes Class III material: construction and demolition debris, furniture and clean fill, at its own per-ton rate. The two transfer stations take Class I garbage; Class III loads go to the landfill only. A mixed load of trash and furniture is classed by the weigh station at the gate; sorting it may let part of it go at the lower rate.

What does the Miami-Dade landfill charge a homeowner?

The county lists a non-contract disposal rate of $119.51 a ton, the rate that applies to anyone without a hauler contract. Waste delivered to a regional transfer station adds a further charge per ton. The page says the rates are effective as of October 1 without printing the year, so confirm at the weigh station at the gate. Cash is not accepted.

Is it really one dollar to dump in Jacksonville?

The City of Jacksonville lists a $1 charge for the first 500 lbs at the Trail Ridge Landfill and $30.30 a ton above it, for household garbage and building materials. Yard waste is $25 a ton. The page prints no effective date, so check it before going.
