Buncombe County New Landfill

Buncombe County New Landfill sits out on Panther Branch Road in Alexander and is where local residents, contractors, and haulers bring trash to be buried. It's a working county landfill, used by anyone who needs a final-disposal option for household or commercial loads.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth - plan to stop at the scale so your load can be weighed for tipping fees. Vehicles are directed to the active tipping area; expect trucks, heavy equipment, and bare earth rather than a tidy, landscaped site. Commercial trucks and pickups using the site is common, so don’t be surprised if there’s a mix of big haulers and local vehicles. The place can be dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with large piles of compacted material and machinery moving around.
