Dumfries landfill to close in 2032, give $4 million

A debris landfill in Dumfries will close in 2032, and give the town government up to $4 million in host fees.

The Town Council and the landfill reached an agreement this month on the closure of the 101-acre facility. The agreement comes after years of on again, off again negotiations between the two entities.

Dumfries will be paid the host fee over the course of the next 16 years. In 2015, Potomac Landfill President Philip C. Peet told Potomac Local his landfill would be only of its kind in Virginia to pay such fees.
