Please be advised that the Nelson County Transfer Station will be closed starting on April 22, 2026 and is anticipated to remain closed for repairs through May 31, 2026. As of April 22nd and during the repair period, our neighbors in Amherst County will be accepting the waste of Nelson County businesses at their landfill located at 715 Kentmoor Farm Road, Madison Heights VA 24572, which is open during the hours of M-F 8 am – 4pm, Saturdays 8am-12pm, and closed on Sundays. They will also accept the larger waste of our citizens that cannot be disposed of at our collection sites or be recycled in the re-use sheds, which will remain open on their regular schedule. Amherst County WILL NOT accept our waste before April 22nd.
If you choose to take waste to the Amherst Landfill, please be prepared to provide identification showing that you are a business account-holder or citizen from Nelson County, in order to be allowed to use the facility under the “Nelson Account” – you will not be expected to pay at the time of your trip; but will be billed by Nelson County at a later date.
