Prince William County Sanitary Landfill
Prince William County Sanitary Landfill, 14811 Dumfries Road, Manassas, 20112, Virginia
Prince William County Sanitary Landfill on Dumfries Road is where local trash ends up - used by homeowners and commercial haulers alike. The site is big and industrial, with heavy equipment moving around and large berms of compacted material visible from the road.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale; tipping fees are assessed by weight so drivers get weighed in and out. Traffic lanes and signs guide vehicles to unloading spots and collection areas, and the surface is mostly gravel or packed dirt. Expect noise, dust, and the sight of large trucks and earth-moving machines; the whole place looks like a working construction zone. Lines are common on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so wait times can climb.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure any loose load before leaving home - debris blowing off on the access road is a real hassle.
- Pull forward to the scale/booth when directed and have your ID and vehicle info handy to keep the line moving.
- If possible, avoid weekend visits; early weekday mornings usually move faster with fewer trucks around.
