Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill V sits off Morehead Road in Concord and handles the kind of loads both homeowners and commercial haulers bring to a landfill this size. It’s a big, working site named for the nearby speedway, so the area is easy to spot. Most folks use it for routine trash hauls and construction-type cleanups.
Drive up the access road and you'll see a small entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed; most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed in and out. The site itself is large with dirt roads and active working faces-piles of cover dirt and compacted material are common sights. Vehicles range from pickups to roll-offs, and lines can form, especially on weekend and spring cleanup days. Pull up slowly, follow the flow of truck traffic, and be ready to move to the disposal area when a lane opens.
