Landfill
Cabarrus County Solid Waste Management Landfill
4441 Irish Potato Rd, Concord, NC 28025
(704) 920-2950A county landfill just off Irish Potato Road that locals use for big cleanouts and commercial drop-offs. Trucks and trailers are common here, and it’s where things end up being buried rather than recycled or reused.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to talk through what’s in the load - there’s usually a scale so vehicles get weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight. Big open cells and heavy equipment are visible from the drive; expect to see roll-off trucks and trailers moving around. Commercial loads are accepted, so lines can form behind larger vehicles at busy times. The site looks industrial rather than tidy - large dirt areas, fenced perimeters, and piles that get covered in layers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have ID or proof of address handy for residential pricing or county verification.
- Secure tarps and loose items before hauling - loads can shift and loose debris slows down the line.
- Remember North Carolina handles electronics and hazardous materials differently than regular trash; those items usually need special drop-off arrangements separate from the landfill.
