Accomack County Northern Landfill

Accomack County Northern Landfill sits at 9400 Cutler Lane in Atlantic, Virginia and is the county landfill where household and commercial loads are buried. Locals, hauling companies, and small businesses drop off loads here when recycling or transfer stations aren’t the right fit. It’s an industrial site rather than a tidy drop-off lot, so expect equipment and traffic.

Drive up to a gate area and a scale is common at facilities like this - vehicles are typically weighed and tipping fees are based on weight, so plan for two stops: in and out. After check-in, traffic is usually routed to the active tipping area; the site is dominated by large earth mounds, compacted trenches, and moving heavy machinery. Surfaces can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and trucks back up to specific spots to unload before materials are compacted and covered. Bring tarps and tie-downs since loose material can blow around, especially on windy Eastern Shore days.
