Bedford County Landfill is the county dump on Recycle Road that locals and small businesses use for final disposal of trash. It’s a working landfill where loads are buried rather than processed, and both residential and commercial haulers typically show up here.
The site is the kind of big, open place with roll-up traffic and a scale house at the entrance where trucks stop to be weighed; tipping fees are charged based on weight so expect to drive across a scale and then again when leaving. There’s an entrance booth and a clear drive lane to the active cell and working face, with large mounds and compacting equipment visible nearby. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so traffic and waiting are common at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your load secured and covered while driving on public roads; loose materials can slow the check-in process and draw attention.
- Bring a tarp or straps for odd loads so offloading goes quicker at the working face rather than fumbling with loose items.
- Plan for extra time on Saturdays and spring cleanup days since commercial and residential traffic both increase and the scale line can move slowly.
