Perry County Landfill
Unnamed Road, Linden, TN 37096
Perry County Landfill in Linden handles everything from single residential truckloads to bigger commercial hauls. It's out on Unnamed Road and looks like a working yard more than a neat transfer station. Locals use it for regular cleanups and contractor drops.
There's a small entrance booth and a weigh scale; many landfills bill by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Pull up, wait your turn, and follow the traffic flow to the active disposal area - heavy equipment and big trucks are common, so drive slowly. The site is fairly large with working faces and compacted piles, and commercial loads are typically treated differently from residential ones when fees are assessed. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get backed up, so allow extra time if going then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose items; wind and passing trucks will scatter light debris.
- Allow time for the scale - budget for a second stop and possible waits behind larger vehicles.
- Try to avoid peak weekends or spring-cleanup days if a quick drop-off is needed, since lines build up.
