Craig County Landfill

Small county landfill in New Castle where household and local business garbage ends up getting buried. Mostly used by residents of Craig County and nearby small haulers, not a big regional transfer station like those up in Northern Virginia. It’s the place to bring full loads that aren’t headed to recycling or drop-off centers.

Drive up a lane to an entrance booth and cross a scale; tipping fees are typically charged by weight at county landfills, so expect to stop on the outbound scale as well. The site looks like a working pit and cover area with compacted earth and piles, and trucks usually pull up to a tipping face or pad to dump before being directed off the pad. Recycling bins and bulky-item areas are often clustered near the entrance, with room to maneuver larger trucks but tight spots if it’s busy.
