Appomattox County Landfill

Appomattox County Landfill is the county landfill out on Recycle Lane that locals use for household junk and businesses hauling full loads. Smaller residential drop-offs and larger commercial trucks both show up here, so expect a mix of pickups and big rigs. It’s the place where trash actually gets buried, not a transfer station or recycling center.

Drive in and you'll see an entrance booth and a scale - most loads are weighed, so there’s usually a stop at the scale on the way in and again on the way out. The site is open-air with areas of exposed dirt and compacted trash mounds; traffic tends to flow from the scale to a tipping area and then back past the scale. Tipping fees are based on weight and category of material, so commercial haulers will pay differently than a household load. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busier, and lines can form for the weigh-in.
