Tazewell County Landfill
Tazewell County Landfill, 245 Lynn Hollow Road, North Tazewell, 24630, Virginia
Tazewell County Landfill on Lynn Hollow Road is the county dump for household and larger cleanup loads. Local residents and haulers use it when trash, construction debris, or yard waste needs to be buried rather than recycled or hauled off elsewhere.
Drive up the gravel entrance and there’s a small booth and scale-plan to stop for weighing before and after dumping. The site is large and functional: bulldozers and compacted mounds are visible, with clear lanes for cars and trucks to follow. Tipping fees at landfills are generally charged by weight or per load, and most county landfills accept commercial haulers with separate rates. After dumping, expect to return to the scale to finish paperwork and leave.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads so garbage or branches don’t blow out on the road-wind picks up quick on the hill.
- If towing a trailer, take the truck/trailer lane and be ready to back up to the tipping area; having a spotter makes it faster and safer.
- Avoid weekend and spring-cleanup rushes if possible; midweek mornings usually have the shortest lines.
