Alamance County Landfill

Alamance County Landfill on Austin Quarter Road in Graham is where the county’s trash gets buried. Locals and commercial haulers use it for final disposal, so expect a mix of pickup trailers and big trucks. It’s a large, working landfill rather than a small drop-off site.

There’s an entrance booth with a scale - most vehicles are weighed in and weighed out, so plan for that stop. Pull onto the scale, then drive up the access road to the active dumping area to unload and return to the scale when finished. Tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills, so total cost depends on how heavy the load is. The site has gravel roads, big mounds of compacted material and lots of truck traffic; it’s practical and dusty rather than tidy.
