SRPSA Butcher Creek Landfill sits on Highway 92 in Chase City and is where residents and trucks bring loads that won’t fit in curbside pickup. Locals use it for everything from old furniture to construction debris, and it looks and feels like a working landfill - not a tidy drop-off. Expect a practical, heavy‑equipment kind of place rather than a polished recycling center.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale; drivers usually stop at the booth, then pull onto the scale to be weighed. Fees are charged by weight, so plan for a weigh‑in and a weigh‑out and tipping fees calculated from that. The yard is gravel and packed dirt with earth mounds and loaders moving material; trucks and pickups reverse up to a dumping spot, unload, then head back through the scale. Weekends and spring cleanup season can get backed up, and surfaces may be muddy after rain.
