Charles County Landfill #2 is the county landfill out on Billingsley Road East in Waldorf where household and larger loads end up being buried. Neighbors, landscapers and local contractors bring full trucks and trailers here; it’s the kind of big, no-frills place used when something has to go away for good. The site is a typical county-scale landfill-plain roads, earthworks, and heavy equipment around the tipping area.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale; most landfills charge by weight so expect to stop at the scale and then again on the way out. There’s a specific spot to drop off loads and then a turnaround or exit scale, so plan for a short wait if there are other trucks. The yard looks industrial-large dirt piles, compactors and loaders working the cells, and wide lanes for commercial trucks. Fees and what’s accepted can vary since Maryland oversight sets rules at the state and local level, and commercial loads are commonly handled but may be billed differently than residential loads.
