Northwestern Landfill

Northwestern Landfill on E Dry Run Road is the local landfill serving Parkersburg and nearby valleys. People drop off household trash, construction debris, and commercial loads that need permanent disposal; it’s the kind of place trucks and roll-offs use more than a neighborhood drop-off. The site sits low in the valley, so access can feel different depending on weather and road conditions.

There’s usually a weigh scale and an entrance booth where trucks pause to be logged and directed; tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight rather than by load type. Drive slowly in - pull up to the booth and follow staff or signage for where to tip; larger commercial trucks will be routed slightly differently than small pickups. The site is open and industrial-looking: compacted dirt, berms of cover soil, and active tipping faces, so be prepared for dust, mud after rain, and typical heavy equipment moving around.
