Old Dominion Landfill

Old Dominion Landfill, 2001 Charles City Road, Richmond, 23231, Virginia

Old Dominion Landfill on Charles City Road is Richmond’s large-scale burial site for municipal and contractor loads. Located at 2001 Charles City Road, it’s the kind of place contractors, haulers and residents with big cleanouts use when stuff can’t go to curbside pickup. Landfills of this size generally handle commercial loads as well and use a tipping-fee structure tied to weight.

There’s usually a check-in booth and a scale, so plan to stop and be weighed on the way in and again when you leave. Pull up to the office or booth for directions, then follow the flow to the tipping area-expect heavy equipment, dirt ramps and lots of trucks. The site is large, open and dusty at times, with compacted working faces and berms rather than neat bins. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so patience is part of the trip.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps and tie-downs on any loose load; shifting material can slow unloading and weighing.
  • Sort and stage materials in the truck so dumping is quick-separating bulky items from loose trash saves time.
  • Avoid peak times when possible-weekday mornings tend to be less crowded than weekends and public clean-up periods.
