Landfill Operations
Landfill Operations
The Charles County Sanitary Landfill opened for operation in July 1994 and averages approximately 11,000 transactions per month. Curbside trash collection is contracted on an individual basis in Charles County. If you belong to a Homeowners' Association (HOA), trash collection may be included in your HOA fees.
- All waste and recycling must be from Charles County. Please have proof of residency available upon entry.
- Commercial haulers are subject to commercial/bulk fees and must weigh in and weigh out at the scale house. Commercial/Bulk fees will be assessed to any vehicle;
- displaying a business name, sign, logo, or lettering
- weighing over 10,000 pounds
- equipped with stake body, utility body, side boards, ladder racks, or cargo body van
- Dump trailer
- All commercial vehicles and vehicles towing trailers must have tow hooks to use the Landfill. In the unlikely event, your vehicle becomes stuck, it is the responsibility of the driver to attach the cable to their tow hooks so we can assist in pulling your vehicle out. Having off-road tires in good condition is also a preemptive measure to not getting stuck at the landfill.
- Piney Church Road Mulch Facility
