Appeal Landfill

Appeal Landfill in Lusby is the county-style dump where household and commercial rubbish ends up when hauling it off the driveway. Located on Sweetwater Road, it’s the kind of big, open dirt-and-gravel site locals use for large cleanouts or contractor loads. Expect a working landfill - not a recycling center - where trucks and trailers are the norm.

Drive up to a roadside booth and prepare to stop for directions and to be weighed on a scale; landfills like this charge by weight so there’s usually an in-and-out scale process. The tipping area is a large, sloped working face with compacted soil and trucks backing in to dump; small residential vehicles pull up, unload, and turn back toward the exit. There are piles of cover material and heavy equipment moving around, so watch where you step and give trucks plenty of room. Weekends and seasonal cleanups often bring lines, and the whole site looks and smells like an active burial operation rather than a tidy transfer station.
