Washington County Landfill

Washington County Landfill in Roper is the county landfill where household and commercial trash ends up being buried. Locals, landscapers, and small haulers bring loads here when curbside pickup or transfer stations aren’t an option. It’s a practical, no-frills place used by anyone needing to dispose of larger or bulk items.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth near the road - vehicles usually stop to be weighed so expect to pull forward and then stop again on the way out. The site is large and open, with working faces where material is pushed and covered; visibility is clear from the access road. Recycling or drop-off containers are often clustered off to the side past the initial checkpoint. Since this is a North Carolina facility, electronics and hazardous materials follow state-specific handling rules and are treated differently than regular trash.
