Dickson County Landfill is the county landfill on Eno Road in Dickson, Tennessee, where household and commercial trash ends up being buried. Local residents, haulers and businesses bring loads here rather than to convenience centers or transfer stations. Expect a working landfill - not a tidy drop-off - used for final disposal.
A drive-up entrance with a weighing scale is likely; trucks usually stop to be weighed so plan for that pause. After the scale there will be a short drive into the tipping area and visible landfill cells and access roads rather than a paved civic park. Loads are unloaded at the face or in specified dumping spots, then equipment pushes material into place. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so traffic and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before driving in - loose debris blows around and slows unloading.
- Have any required paperwork or commercial load documentation ready so the drop-off moves faster.
- Try to go on a weekday morning if possible; weekends and holiday cleanup times get noticeably busier.
