Stafford County Landfill — R-Board Hours, Fees & Passes
Stafford County's dump is run by the R-Board, which serves Stafford County and the City of Fredericksburg from the Regional Landfill on Eskimo Hill Road and the Belman Road Convenience Center. Residents pay $6 a visit, $50 for a 10-trip coupon book or $140 for an annual pass. Residential hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends.
The catch is at Belman Road: it takes only coupons or an annual pass — no cash, checks or cards. Online orders are mailed and take 7 to 10 business days, so if you need to dump today, pay per visit at the landfill or buy coupons in person there or at the Stafford County or Fredericksburg Treasurer's office. A household can have two annual passes, each tied to one vehicle.

Recycling is free for Stafford County and Fredericksburg residents at both sites during residential hours, and at single-stream drop-off containers at Howell Branch Library (806 Lyons Boulevard), Hugh Mercer Elementary (2100 Cowan Boulevard) and the Rowser Building (1739 Richmond Highway).
There's no everyday drop-off for oil-based paint, gasoline, pesticides or other household chemicals: they wait for the R-Board's once-a-year Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Day, which in 2026 was Sept. 12 at Stafford Regional Airport. Latex paint is taken daily at the landfill; see the sales shed attendant. Residents can buy compost at the landfill on Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, for $15 a cubic yard, up to 2 cubic yards a day.
Holiday closures
Both sites close on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and at noon on Christmas Eve. They stay open on Columbus Day (Monday, Oct. 12, 2026).
