High Point Kersey Valley Landfill

High Point Kersey Valley Landfill is the large county landfill on Kivett Drive that locals and businesses use when regular trash pickup won’t cut it. Trucks, trailers and neighborhood cleanouts all end up here at the final disposal site just outside Jamestown. It’s the place to bring materials meant to be buried rather than recycled.

Drive up the access road and pass a scale house where loads are weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight, so expect to stop twice - in and out. There’s an entrance booth and traffic control for larger trucks, then open cells and tall dirt berms where crews compact and cover loads; it looks like big piles and heavy equipment working the mounds. Commercial vehicles are handled here regularly, so anticipate seeing big roll-offs, dump trucks and trailer rigs alongside smaller pickups. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lines, and the recycling/drop-off bays are usually separate from the main burial area.
