Botetourt County Landfill
Botetourt County Landfill, 259 Landfill Road, Troutville, 24175, Virginia
Botetourt County Landfill is the county dump out on Landfill Road in Troutville, where household and commercial loads end up being buried. Locals, contractors and haulers use it - expect pickup trucks, trailers and larger roll-offs in the line.
There's a small entrance booth and a scale you drive over so tipping fees are handled by weight; plan to stop on the way in and again when you leave. After the scale, vehicles pull up to a tipping area or active cell where loads get dumped; the place is open and mostly dirt and compacted fills, with heavy trucks coming and going. It feels like a working yard rather than a tidy facility, and lines can form during busy times like weekend cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure everything with tarps and straps - loose trash blowing out of a truck is a real hassle and can get you held up.
- Sort bulky items and metals from general garbage before getting to the front of the line so unloading goes faster.
- Avoid weekend afternoons and spring-cleanup weekends if possible; the wait time gets noticeably longer then.
