Anson Landfill

Anson Landfill in Polkton is the county landfill where both local residents and commercial haulers take trash that will be buried. Located at 375 Dozer Dr, it's a working, open-air site with large daily operations. North Carolina requires special handling for electronics and hazardous materials, so those items are treated differently than regular household trash.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and you'll likely be directed onto a scale - landfills usually charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. After the scale there’s a place to pull up to the tipping face where trucks and pickup beds are emptied; heavy equipment and high dirt piles are common sights. The surface can be dusty when it's dry and muddy after rain, and traffic backs up more on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Signage and attendants typically show where to dump, and commercial loads are accepted alongside residential ones.
