Northwest Tennessee Landfill

Northwest Tennessee Landfill, 518 Beech Chapel Road, Union City, 38261, Tennessee

Get Directions

Northwest Tennessee Landfill on Beech Chapel Road is where Union City residents and local haulers bring trash that gets buried. It handles everything from pickup-truck loads to larger commercial deliveries and serves the surrounding area. Think big, working-site - not a tidy recycling center.

Drive up to an entrance booth/scalehouse and be prepared for a weigh-in; tipping fees are generally charged by weight or load type, so expect to stop again on the way out. After check-in, follow the lanes to the active tipping pad where trucks unload and heavy equipment spreads and compacts the material. The site is large and dusty with mounded cells and moving equipment-watch for trucks and loaders. Lines can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan extra time if heading over then.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads-wind will throw trash off open beds and it just slows everything down.
  • If hauling commercially, have the usual hauler paperwork and vehicle info ready; that speeds the check-in process.
  • Avoid weekend and peak spring cleanup hours if possible; midweek mornings usually move faster and cut down waiting time.
