Stafford County Landfill on Eskimo Hill Road is where most of the area's larger trash loads end up. Neighbors, landscapers and the occasional big truck come here when stuff won’t fit in the curbside cans. Like most county landfills, it handles everyday residential drop-offs as well as commercial/contractor loads.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up scale; fees are handled as tipping fees and are typically structured by weight and sometimes by material type, so expect to be weighed. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the flow to the active tipping area where trucks and pickups unload. The site looks like a large working yard with piles and open cells in the distance, and traffic can back up a bit on busy days. Bring a secure load-loose debris can be a hassle-and be ready to stop on the scale again on the way out.
