Fauquier County Landfill Management at 8499 Bingham Rd in Warrenton is the county landfill people use for disposal of household cleanouts and larger loads. It’s the kind of place both residents and haulers end up at when material needs to be buried rather than recycled.
Pull up to an entrance/scale booth and plan to be weighed - tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, so expect to stop twice. After weighing, vehicles proceed to the active tipping area where trucks dump into working piles and heavy equipment moves material around. The site looks industrial: packed dirt roads, large mounds of cover soil and trash, and loaders or compactors in use on most days. Lines build up around weekends and spring cleanup, so traffic can back up at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before coming - the roads are dusty and loose debris can blow or fall off while driving and unloading.
- Sort materials ahead of time; keeping brush, scrap metal and regular trash separated usually speeds unloading since different items often need to go to different spots.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring and fall cleanup if possible, as those times tend to have the longest waits.
