Cheatham County Landfill

A county landfill out on Sams Creek Road that locals use when a convenience center or transfer station won't take bulk or heavy loads. People dropping off construction debris, full pickups, or big household cleanouts end up here; it's the actual place where trash gets buried rather than processed further.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and a visible scale - trucks usually stop to be weighed, so plan for a brief pause going in and another stop coming out. The site is large and open with piles and compacted cells visible from the dumping area; expect to pull up to a tipping face to unload and then drive back toward the scale. There’s not much in the way of sorting lines like at recycling centers, since this is the final disposal point. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, so a short wait is common when lots of people are dropping off.
