SPSA Regional Landfill
SPSA Regional Landfill, 1 Bob Foeller Drive, Suffolk, 23434, Virginia
SPSA Regional Landfill on Bob Foeller Drive in Suffolk is the large County landfill where both residential cleanups and commercial haulers bring loads for burial. Contractors, landscapers and people with big job-site or household piles use it most, so expect a working, industrial-feeling site.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees are typically charged by weight, with different structures for residential versus commercial loads. Pull up to the booth, follow the traffic flow to a dumping area, and then usually run back over the scale after tipping. Big trucks, compactors and earth berms dominate the view, and the yard can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather. Plan on slow moving vehicles and heavy equipment crossing the lanes while on site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose materials before coming; loose debris makes unloading messier and slows things down.
- Avoid weekend afternoons and peak seasonal cleanup times if possible - those are when backups are most common.
- Try to consolidate material into as few trips as possible since fees are weight-based; keeping loads compact helps control costs.
