A large county landfill on Dumfries Road serving Manassas and the surrounding Northern Virginia area. Residents and commercial haulers both use this site as the final place to drop off trash and bulky loads. It’s a big, active operation-lots of trucks and open cells visible from the road.
Drive up to an entrance booth and cross a scale as part of the process; landfills of this type charge by weight, so the scale matters. After the booth there’s room to line up and trucks will be directed toward tipping areas and cover material piles. The site looks industrial: compacted dirt roads, earth berms and exposed tipping faces rather than tidy recycling bins. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and commercial traffic is common, so expect slow-moving trucks and some waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before leaving home-loose debris blows off quickly on the access road.
- Plan for delays on weekend mornings and during spring/holiday cleanup periods; allow extra time.
- Because the site charges by weight and handles commercial vehicles, bring a truck or trailer that can back to a tipping area and be prepared for heavy-truck traffic.
