Maplewood (Amelia) Landfill is the big county landfill out on Maplewood Road that people from Jetersville and nearby towns use when the curbside pickup won't cut it. Trucks, trailers and folks with packed pickup beds all show up here; it’s the place where trash gets buried and stays buried.
There’s a weigh station/scale and a small entrance booth to stop at-expect to pull onto the scale and then head in to unload. The site itself is wide open with compacted dirt roads and piles of cover soil and refuse; directions for where to tip are given at the gate. Tipping fees are charged by weight at places like this and there’s usually a residential minimum; larger commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills of this scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads covered and secured for the drive-loose debris can get flagged at the gate and slow things down.
- Load items in a way that makes unloading quick: keep mattresses, bags, and bulky items reachable so dumping is faster.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; lines and wait times tend to be longer when everyone’s doing chores.
