Small county solid waste spot just off Rockfish School Lane in the Nellysford/Afton area, used by local homeowners and folks hauling yard debris or household trash. Not fancy-mostly practical for anyone dropping off a load from around Nelson County or nearby parts of Virginia.

Drive in past a small gate or booth and follow the lane toward the main pile areas and containers. You'll cross a scale on the way in-sites like this typically charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Recycling and yard-waste are usually separated from the main trash area, with piles or bins set off to the side rather than mixed in. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, can have a line, so there may be waiting and slow-moving trucks.

Before You Go

  • Come ready to pull up to a booth and then over a scale; have vehicle type and load roughly sorted to move through quicker.
  • Load smaller items into easily handled piles or bags so they can be dropped quickly at the right area instead of sorting at the last minute.
  • If towing a trailer, allow extra time for maneuvering and for the weigh-in process; tight turns and uneven ground are common at rural sites.
