Region 2000 Regional Landfill

Region 2000 Regional Landfill is the big county/regional landfill out on Concord Turnpike that handles Lynchburg-area trash and commercial haulers. Locals, landscapers, and garbage trucks all end up here when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled or composted. The site is large and built for heavy loads, so expect an industrial feel rather than a tidy drop-off center.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to drive slowly - large trucks and scales are part of the scene. Vehicles usually cross a scale so weight-based tipping fees apply, meaning there’s a weigh-in and often a weigh-out process. The property has gravel and paved access roads, visible landfill cells and cover material, and a steady stream of commercial trucks alongside residential vehicles. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there may be a bit of waiting, especially for larger rigs.
