Landfill Manager on MN-135 is the local place where household cleanouts and heavier commercial loads end up. It’s the kind of site that sees pickup trucks and big rigs alike, and people from around Virginia bring anything that needs burial. Expect a working, open-site feel rather than anything tidy or polished.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale-loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged based on weight, so plan to stop twice (in and out). Follow the gravel drive to the active dumping area; there are large dirt piles and heavy equipment moving around. Smaller vehicles usually get routed separately from the big trucks, but it can look chaotic if several haulers are there at once. Leave time for lining up, especially when the county spring cleanups are underway.

Before You Go
- Sort materials at home so unloading goes quicker-separate metal, brush, and general trash if possible to avoid extra handling.
- Cover loose loads for transport and brace lighter items so nothing blows out while driving; windy days make a mess and can mean extra cleanup time at the site.
- If bringing commercial loads, have any required paperwork and vehicle info ready and expect to be weighed by the scale; bring patience on weekends or during spring cleanup when lines get long.
