Virginia Beach Landfill No. 2 on Jake Sears Road is the municipal landfill where both homeowners with big cleanouts and local haulers bring loads that can't go to curbside pickup. It’s the final-place-for-burial type of site rather than a neat transfer center, and it’s used by residential and commercial vehicles alike.
The property is large and rough - expect open dirt areas, piled cells, and heavy equipment moving around. There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale at the front; tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed as part of the drop-off process. Pull up to the lane by the booth and follow the flow into dumping areas; surfaces can be uneven and muddy after rain. Lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so waiting is common at peak times.
