St. Louis County Regional Landfill in Virginia is the big county dump where homeowners and commercial haulers take loads that are meant to be buried. It’s a fairly large operation out on Landfill Road, used mainly for bulky cleanouts and contractor loads.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan for a short pause both going in and coming out. Pull up slowly - lots of heavy trucks move around, surfaces can be gravel and dusty, and visibility can be limited. Tipping fees are generally charged by weight, and the site accepts commercial loads as well as residential drops. Expect big mounds of compacted dirt and garbage cells in the distance rather than a tidy yard - wear clothes that can handle dust.
