Dyersburg City Landfill sits out on Sorrels Chapel Road and is where residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. It’s a municipal landfill that handles large truck traffic and big volumes rather than a small drop‑off point. Expect heavy equipment, visible dirt cells, and a working‑site feel.
You'll cross a scale-most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so be prepared to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the gate/booth area and then follow the flow of trucks to the active dumping area; vehicles typically back into a cell to tip and then return across the scale. The site is large and can be dusty, with compacted fill and heavy machinery moving around, so slow down and mind uneven ground. Weekends and spring cleanup season are the busiest times, and lines can form.
