Get Directions

Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill sits at 3500 Brown Station Road in Upper Marlboro and is the local burial site for municipal and contractor loads. People from around the area bring trash here when it needs to be buried rather than recycled. From the road the place looks big - capped dirt mounds, gravel yards and heavy machinery moving about.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a drive-over scale; landfills of this type typically charge by weight, so plan to be weighed on the way in or out. Traffic can back up, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so lines are common. The working areas are mostly gravel and dirt with large piles and equipment; expect uneven ground and dust. Follow signs and any directions at the booth, then pull into the dumping area and return to the scale when finished.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads so nothing blows or spills on the road - loose debris makes the trip longer and creates a mess to deal with.
  • Try for an early weekday morning if possible; weekends and seasonal cleanups get the longest lines.
  • Break down bulky items and load so heavy pieces come out first - it saves time at the drop-off and gets vehicles moving faster.
