Waste Management - West Camden Sanitary Landfill

2410 US-70, Camden, TN 38320

(866) 909-4458

A working landfill on US-70 that handles the final burial of municipal and commercial trash for the area. Locals and contractors both use this site when drop-off at county convenience centers won’t take larger or mixed loads.

This is a large, industrial-looking property with dirt and gravel drives and big earth mounds in the distance. There’s a scale house near the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed - tipping fees are assessed either by weight or by a minimum flat charge depending on the load and permit type. After the booth, traffic is directed toward active cells or unloading areas; commercial trucks and roll-offs are commonly present alongside pickup trucks and trailers. Weekend and spring-cleanup traffic can back up at the entrance, so expect a short wait at busier times.

Before You Go

  • Bring a photo ID and any needed commercial paperwork for company loads - the scale house will ask for identification or load info for billing.
  • Separate loose brush, construction debris, and household trash in the vehicle if possible; it makes the unloading point move faster and keeps helpers from having to sort items in front of traffic.
  • Secure and cover loads before the drive in; loose material blowing out is a hassle and slows down other users, and tarped loads are easier to handle when getting directed to the tip face.
