Thomasville Landfill is the county dump on 88 County Landfill Road where household and commercial trash ends up buried. Locals, contractors and haulers use it for final disposal, and it’s the big, fenced site a few miles out of town.
There’s a drive-up entrance with a small scale booth - vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan on pulling forward and waiting briefly. The tipping area is out on the open pad and the landfill cells and dirt ramps are visible from the lanes; trucks usually back up to a working face to tip. Commercial loads are handled here, and tipping fees are assessed by weight at the scale, meaning drivers stop once on the way in and again after dumping. The driveway and staging areas are gravel, so expect dust and some mud after rain.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris is a hassle for everyone and may slow unloading.
- Avoid late-morning on Saturdays and spring weekends - lines get long and truck traffic builds up quickly.
- Have paperwork or load info ready if hauling commercially, and plan for the extra stop on the outbound scale when figuring trip time.
