Barbour County Landfill

Barbour County Landfill on Gilchrist Road is the county dump in Clayton where homeowners, haulers, and contractors bring material to be buried. It’s a working site - trucks come and go and it looks like a municipal operation rather than a tidy recycling center. Many county landfills handle both residential and commercial loads, though acceptance and fees vary by location.

Expect to drive over a scale and stop at an entrance booth area; tipping fees are typically charged by weight so vehicles are usually weighed in and out. Pull up to a grading or tipping area to unload - larger trucks use the obvious drive-over spots while smaller vehicles edge in at the sides. The surface is mostly compacted dirt and graded cells with heavy equipment visible, not a paved lot with parking; plan for dust or mud depending on weather. Lines form on busy weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be wait times.
