Get Directions

Bedford County Sanitary Landfill 2 on Recycle Road is the county landfill in Bedford, Virginia - where local residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. It handles everything from pickup‑truck loads to larger commercial hauls, and tipping fees are assessed by weight or by load size as is common at landfills, though exact policies vary by location.

Expect to stop at a scale and an attendant booth so vehicles can be weighed; landfills typically weigh you in and again after unloading. After that drivers are routed to the active dumping area, which is a big, open, industrial space with compacted piles, heavy equipment, and gravel lanes for trucks. Pull up to the tipping pad, unload where directed, then usually return to the scale to finalize charges. The site looks utilitarian - dirt berms, stacked refuse, and traffic lanes separated for large trucks and smaller vehicles.

Before You Go

  • Secure and cover loads tight so loose trash doesn't blow off on the drive in; it also speeds up unloading because less debris falls off the bed.
  • Bring heavy gloves, a tarp, and a small broom or shovel for quick cleanup of a tailgate or trailer; those little bits can slow the line down.
  • Avoid peak times if possible - weekends and spring cleanup tend to have the longest waits, especially when commercial trucks are queued up.
