(804) 226-8625This is the East End Landfill run by Teel L.C.C., the big county landfill out on Darbytown Road that Richmond contractors and homeowners use when hauling big loads. Trucks and trailers are common here, and the place feels industrial rather than tidy - it's where trash gets buried. Locals swing by with construction debris, yard waste, or big cleanouts when curbside won't cut it.
There's a weigh scale and an attendant booth at the entrance, so drivers pull up, check in, and then go on to the tipping area; weights are what determine the fee, not flat rates. The site is mostly open cells and compacting equipment, with piles and heavy machinery visible from the drop-off points. Expect to stop again on the scale on the way out since final charges are weight-based. Weekends and spring cleanup see more traffic, so lines can back up into the access road.
