Surry County Landfill

Surry County Landfill is Mount Airy’s county dump - the place locals and haulers bring stuff that’s going to be buried. It’s used by residents doing cleanouts and by larger trucks from local businesses and haulers. The site sits off Landfill Road and looks like a working county facility rather than a polished transfer station.

There’s a scale near the entrance so vehicles are weighed and tipping is based on weight, which means stopping once on the way in and again on the way out. A small gate/entrance booth is visible from the road where vehicles queue up before being directed to the active cell or drop area. The site has the typical wide dirt/gravel drives, piles of cover soil and working equipment, and places to pull over while waiting-weekends and spring cleanups tend to back up traffic. Commercial haulers commonly use county landfills alongside residential traffic, so expect to share the space with larger trucks.
