Waste Management - Maplewood (Amelia) Landfill

20221 Maplewood Rd, Jetersville, VA 23083

(804) 561-5787

A working landfill run by Waste Management just off Maplewood Road in Jetersville, used by both residents and commercial haulers. This is where trash gets buried rather than recycled or processed, so expect a large, industrial-feeling site with regular truck traffic.

Drive past an entrance booth and likely cross a scale to record weight - tipping fees are charged by weight at facilities like this, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. Pull-up areas for unloading are spread out and can be dusty; large piles of compacted trash and cover soil are visible across the site. Commercial loads are accepted here, so prepare for bigger trucks and a busier flow than a small transfer station. Lines can form during busy weekend or seasonal cleanup times, and signage points drivers toward the active tipping face.

Before You Go

  • Have your load secured and easy to dump; backing into a tipping area can save time when traffic is moving.
  • Bring something to cover or contain loose items on the drive in - wind can scatter lightweight debris across the road.
  • Expect to stop for weight ticketing at entry and exit; factor that into your trip time, especially if hauling a commercial load.
