Battle Creek Landfill
Battle Creek Landfill, 806 US-340 South 219 Landfill Drive, Luray, 22835, Virginia
Battle Creek Landfill is the county landfill on US-340 South in Luray, handling household cleanouts as well as commercial truckloads. Neighbors show up with everything from pickup loads to roll-off trailers; it’s a working landfill with heavy equipment and big open cells.
Drive in to the entrance at 806 US-340 South and stop at the entrance booth/scale - vehicles are weighed and you’ll likely stop again on the way out. The site is large and mostly dirt and compacted refuse, with loaders and compactors moving material around. After weighing, attendants will direct drivers where to tip their load and when to return to the scale. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and commercial trucks are a regular sight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose debris before leaving home - wind on US-340 can send stuff flying and it slows unloading.
- Have loads sorted as much as possible (bulky items together, brush separate) to speed the trip through the tipping area.
- Watch for heavy equipment and follow hand or flagger directions; approach the scale slowly and be ready to stop twice (in and out).
