A working landfill on the north side of Campbellton, used by homeowners, contractors and haulers hauling final-disposal loads. It’s the kind of place people go when trash needs burying rather than recycling or drop-off. Expect a busy, industrial feel rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
Look for a single lane in to an entrance booth and a large axle scale - vehicles usually stop on the scale coming in and again when leaving because charges are by weight. Large earthen mounds, compacting equipment and roll-off containers are visible from the access road; trucks and trailers are common. Commercial loads are typically handled at landfills like this, so semi-trucks and dump trailers are normal; residential pickups and small trailers show up too. During hurricane season and spring yard-cleanup times there can be long lines and people stacking brush and vegetative debris to the side.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose material before driving on public roads - debris blown off trailers is a common problem and slows things down.
- Expect to stop at a scale booth: allow extra time for weighing in and out, and have a plan for dumping and leaving the site.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekends, spring yard-cleanup and post-storm days get backed up and traffic can be slow.
