Waste Management Union County Landfill

289 Wolfe Rd, Luttrell, TN 37779

A working landfill on the edge of Luttrell where both households and larger haulers drop off trash that can’t be handled at smaller transfer sites. It’s the kind of place farmers, contractors and folks doing big cleanouts end up taking loads to when the county convenience centers won’t do it.

Drive up to a gated entrance with a scale-you’ll be weighed in and then again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight. There’s a small booth near the entrance where traffic is directed and where drivers stop first, then pull through to the active dumping area; expect to see big roll-off boxes and compacted berms of cover soil. The site is large and mostly gravel and packed dirt, so trucks and trailers are common, and weekends or spring cleanup can get congested. Landfills like this typically accept commercial loads, though specifics on materials and fees vary by locality.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or tie-downs; loads that aren’t covered can cause extra stops and messes on the road into the site.
  • Have an idea of weight-heavy items (concrete, dirt, metal) separated if possible-they tend to change how you’re routed on-site.
  • Expect dust and uneven ground-use a vehicle that can handle gravel, and secure anything that might blow off before hitting the scale.
