Landfill
Louisa County Sanitary Landfill
Louisa County Sanitary Landfill, 807 Moorfield Road, Mineral, 23117, Virginia
Louisa County Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill on Moorfield Road in Mineral, where local trash and larger loads end up. Expect a mix of pickup trucks, contractors and bigger haulers coming through; it’s not just neighborhood cars.
A small entrance booth and a scale sit near the driveway; most people pull up to the booth first and then drive in to the tipping area. Big dirt mounds and heavy equipment are visible from the road, with trucks lining up to drop loads. There are separate spots for different kinds of drop-offs, so plan on being directed where to go once inside. Weekends-especially during spring cleanup-get backed up, so waits are common at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before leaving home; wind-blown debris is a hassle and can lead to extra stops on site.
- Have vehicle registration or some county ID ready in the glovebox; many local sites check paperwork before letting vehicles through.
- Try to go early on a weekday if possible; mid-mornings and weekends are when lines and wait times balloon.
