Lexington County Edmund Landfill is the county landfill serving Lexington residents and haulers. Located off Landfill Lane, it's the place county trash ends up when nothing else will take it, and both small residential drop-offs and larger commercial deliveries are common here. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything fancy.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-over scale-vehicles typically stop to be weighed so tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up slowly; trucks and roll-offs move around the site and there’s a lot of heavy equipment pushing material into the cells. The property is large and mostly open dirt and gravel with compacted landfill slopes visible from the main access road. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier and lines can form at the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and tarps before coming; loads can shed on the drive in and on-site winds pick up dust.
- Have paperwork or any required county permits handy and be prepared to stop on the scale on the way out as well as the way in.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings during cleanup season if possible, and leave extra room to maneuver large trucks or trailers.
