Lincoln County Transfer Sta in Lincolnton is the small county transfer station out on Landfill Road used by local homeowners, landscapers, and small contractors who need to drop off loads that get compacted and hauled elsewhere. It’s the sort of place people use when hauling in from town instead of driving to a distant landfill.
Pull in to a clearly marked entrance with an attendant booth and a scale; there’s usually a stop to record vehicle weight. After that, vehicles are routed to a tipping area or a compacting pit where materials are emptied and pushed into larger trucks. The yard has piles and containers rather than a neat row of bins, so expect to walk a short distance to the drop-off point. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get crowded, so lines are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material with a tarp before leaving home so nothing blows out on the drive and unloading is quicker.
- Separate bulky items from mixed debris if possible; having things grouped makes it faster to empty and reduces handling time.
- Bring gloves, a rake or shovel, and something to help lift heavy items; being prepared speeds the process and limits trips to the vehicle.
