Small county landfill on the south side of Lunenburg, used by local homeowners and haulers from around the county. Not a Northern Virginia megasite-more the kind of place that handles routine household cleanouts and commercial runs from nearby towns.
Drive down Landfill Road to a modest entrance area where trucks and pickups queue up; there’s usually a weigh scale involved so plan for a short stop coming and going. The tipping fees are weight-based at county facilities like this, and commercial loads are commonly accepted at county landfills. The site itself looks utilitarian - compact rows of working faces and covered earth rather than large transfer buildings - and weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can build a line.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loose material covered and tied down so it doesn’t blow out while waiting in line.
- Expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out because the scale is used for billing by weight.
- Avoid peak weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; weekday afternoons tend to be quicker.
