Virginia Beach Landfill

A working landfill on the south side of Virginia Beach that handles residential and commercial loads. Big open tipping areas and earth-moving equipment are the visual staples here; haulers and people cleaning out garages both show up. Located at 1989 Jake Sears Rd, it’s the place trash ends up when recycling or donation isn’t an option.

Drive up to a property entrance with a staffed booth and a scale close by; vehicles are weighed so there’s usually a stop on the way in or out. The site is large - long drive lanes, piles of compacted material, and heavy equipment moving about - so watch for trucks and stay in marked lanes. Commercial trucks are commonly accepted and there’s a tipping fee structure based on weight rather than per-item charges, so expect the scale to factor into your cost. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so queues at the booth and scale can form quickly.
