Campbell County Landfill in Rustburg is the county's burial site for municipal solid waste, used by local homeowners, haulers, and businesses. It handles large volumes typical of a county landfill and functions as the final destination where refuse is buried.
Drive up Livestock Road to a single entrance with a small drive-up booth and a scale house nearby; vehicles usually stop at the booth first and then cross the scale. Tipping fees are charged by weight, with a residential minimum common at county landfills and commercial loads treated under a different rate structure. The site is expansive - long gravel access roads, large compacted piles or lined cells, and heavy equipment moving around - so expect slow vehicle movement and dust in dry weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a strap or tarp to cover loose loads; it keeps debris from blowing and speeds up processing when they ask to inspect loads.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup season if possible; those times tend to have the longest lines for entry and weighing.
- Keep trash separated ahead of time (metal, brush, construction debris) so unloading is quicker - county landfills often have different areas for different materials and splitting loads can save time.
