Ashe County Landfill

Ashe County Landfill is the county dump out on Fred Pugh Road that locals use for household cleanouts, yard debris, and commercial hauls. It’s the kind of place people swing by with a truckload or a trailer when curbside pickup won’t cut it. Folks from Crumpler and nearby hollows drop off everything that’s meant to be buried rather than recycled.

A scale and a small entrance booth sit near the driveway, so vehicles stop to be weighed and then drive up to the active tipping face. The site is the typical open landfill layout - compacted dirt, piles of cover material, and heavy equipment moving loads around. Tipping fees are handled by weight (so expect to stop on the way out for a second weighing) and the facility is set up to accept both residential and commercial-sized loads. Because North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous items, those usually need special handling and may not be accepted with regular trash.
