Millersville Landfill

389 Burns Crossing Rd, Severn, MD 21144

(410) 222-6108

Millersville Landfill is the county landfill out on Burns Crossing Road that locals and small businesses use to drop off bulky trash that won’t fit in curbside bins. It's the kind of place used by homeowners doing big cleanouts and by commercial haulers moving large loads. The site handles high-volume traffic typical of the Baltimore–Washington corridor.

The entrance has a weigh scale and a small booth where vehicles typically stop; the site charges by weight so drivers usually stop on the inbound and outbound scales. The property is large and mostly paved access roads leading to active tipping areas and compacted soil sections; expect to pull up, tip at a marked working face, and then drive back toward the scale. There are separate spots for recyclables and bulky items at many county landfills nearby, usually located just off the main drive. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines at the gate and scale are common.

Before You Go

  • Bring secure tarps and straps for loose loads; windy conditions can turn a messy load into a fine for littering.
  • Use a truck or trailer with clear, safe access - low-clearance or overloaded trailers can struggle on the approach ramps and at the tipping area.
  • Plan for possible lineups at the gate; give extra time on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups so unloading doesn’t disrupt the day’s schedule.
