Beech Hollow Sanitary Landfill is the big county landfill out on A W Long Road in Wellston, used by residents and commercial haulers to dispose of trash that gets buried. Trucks of all sizes show up here - from pickups with yard debris to roll-offs and dump trucks.
Drive up and there’s usually a scale and small entrance booth where vehicles stop to be weighed, so expect to pull up slowly and wait your turn. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with heavy equipment moving around; it can be dusty and a bit noisy, especially when trucks are working the dumping area. Typical landfill procedure is to be weighed and then move to a dumping pad to empty loads, with tipping fees structured by weight rather than by volume. Weekends and spring cleanups bring lines, and commercial loads are commonly handled alongside residential vehicles.
