Augusta County Service Authority Landfill
Augusta County Service Authority Landfill, 749 Christians Creek Road, Staunton, 24401, Virginia
Augusta County Service Authority Landfill sits off Christians Creek Road in Staunton and is where local trash ends up being buried. Neighbors, small haulers and contractors bring loads here; fees and what materials are accepted vary and are overseen by state environmental authorities.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - landfills like this usually charge tipping fees by weight, so vehicles are weighed in and again on the way out. After the booth there’s a route to the active disposal area; the site looks industrial with heavy equipment moving dirt and compacted piles of material. Have loads as sorted as possible before getting there to speed unloading. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads well and have tarps/straps ready - loose stuff slows unloading and can be a safety issue.
- Sort big items ahead of time (brush, metal, bulky furniture) so workers can direct where each piece should go and the drop-off goes faster.
- Aim for early weekdays if possible; weekends and seasonal cleanups get backed up and can add a lot of waiting time.
