Kershaw County Landfill is the county's landfill out on State Rd S-28-331 in Cassatt, where neighbors bring anything too big for curb pickup. People drop off everything from pickup loads to larger truckloads that need burying.
Drive in to an entrance area with a scale and an attendant booth-landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed. After the scale, follow the road to the active tipping area; expect gravel roads, dirt ramps and large open cells where trucks back in to unload. Loads should be covered and secured so nothing blows out on the drive; drivers commonly return to the scale to weigh out before leaving. Weekends, particularly during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home-items that fall out slow everyone down and can end up scattered along the gravel roads.
- Be prepared to stop on the scale on the way in and again when leaving since fees are usually weight-based; having the load ready speeds the process.
- If towing a trailer, allow extra room and take it slow when backing into the pit; weekend mornings fill up, so plan for some wait time.
