Accomack County Landfill

Accomack County Landfill on Cutler Lane is the county landfill serving Atlantic and surrounding areas, used by both residents and businesses. It’s the final place where trash gets buried, so expect a working, no-frills environment rather than anything scenic. As with most landfills, there are tipping fees charged by weight and the site handles both household and larger commercial-style loads, though rates and rules can differ between them.

Drive in toward the entrance booth and there will normally be a drive-on scale where vehicles are weighed; tipping fees are typically calculated from that weight, often with a minimum charge and higher rates for heavier or commercial loads. After being weighed, vehicles proceed to the active dumping area to unload and then usually cross the scale again to record net weight. The site looks industrial-compacted piles, heavy equipment moving material, and wide dirt or gravel work areas for maneuvering trucks and trailers. Weekends and spring clean-up periods commonly bring delays, so lines or slow-moving traffic are worth planning for.
