Landfill
Ashe County Landfill
Ashe County Landfill, 729 Fred Pugh Road, Crumpler, 28617, North Carolina
Ashe County Landfill on Fred Pugh Road is the county dump in Crumpler where residents and haulers bring trash that needs to be buried. It’s a working landfill with a vehicle scale and tipping fees charged by weight. Commercial loads are commonly handled at facilities like this, so expect to see both small trucks and larger haulers in the yard.
Drive in and slow down for the entrance area; there’s a scale and usually a small booth or checkpoint to pass by. Vehicles get weighed so plan to stop on the way in and again on the way out - charges are figured by weight. The approach and tipping area are generally gravel and you’ll see heavy equipment and active cells where material is being pushed and covered. Expect to back up to a tipping pad to unload and then head back across the scale to finish up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before hitting the road; wind will scatter trash and tarps save cleanup time.
- Sort out recyclables, metals, and anything reusable at home so it doesn’t get buried - that can save money and hassle.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings and big spring-cleanup days if possible; lines build up quickly on those times.
