PitTransfer Stationylvania County Landfill
Pittsylvania County Landfill, 382 Rainbow Lane, Dry Fork, 24549, Virginia
PitTransfer Stationylvania County Landfill on Rainbow Lane in Dry Fork is the county transfer station most neighbors use when a quick trip to the big landfill isn’t worth it. Pickup trucks, small trailers and carloads of household rubbish show up here regularly. It’s a working yard-practical rather than pretty.
Expect a gravel/heavy-duty yard with large trucks and trailers moving around; it looks more like a truck lot than a park. There’s an entrance area and a place to pull forward to tip loads into a bay or compactor before the material is trucked offsite. Bring clothing and shoes that can handle mud or dust-rain makes the yard messy. Weekends and spring-cleaning Saturdays get busy and lines are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp or rope so nothing blows out on the drive in; loose trash is a headache for everyone.
- Sort recyclables and any bulky items beforehand so unloading goes faster and fewer trips back-and-forth are needed.
- Try to go midweek or late morning on a weekday if possible; if stuck with a weekend, allow extra time and have someone help with lifting and sorting.
