Carter Valley Landfill

Carter Valley Landfill, 2825 Carters Valley Road, Church Hill, 37642, Tennessee

Carter Valley Landfill on Carters Valley Road in Church Hill is the local spot where larger household cleanouts and commercial loads end up for burial. Residents and haulers use this landfill when trash or job-site debris won’t fit in curbside pickup.

Drive in and slow down for an entrance booth and a scale - landfills typically weigh vehicles and assess tipping fees by weight or volume, so expect at least one stop. Pull-up areas for dumping are usually obvious: wide paved lanes with heavy equipment and piles of cover soil off to one side. The site looks industrial - compacted mounds, heavy trucks, and loaders moving material - and traffic can back up when people are cleaning out garages or after storms. Plan on walking a short distance from where you park to the dumping area and give trucks room to maneuver.

Before You Go

  • Cover loose loads with a tarp and tie things down; wind will spread leaves and lightweight debris fast.
  • Sort bulky items as much as possible before getting to the gate (separate metal, wood, and oversized pieces) so unloading goes quicker.
  • Avoid weekend mid-mornings and spring cleanup weekends when lines build up; aim for early weekday mornings if possible.
