Davidson County

Small, county-run disposal site that folks from Thomasville and surrounding parts of Davidson County use for household trash and bulky items. The place looks like a working landfill operation off Landfill Road, not a tidy recycling center. Neighbors drop off trailers, pickup loads, and local contractors swing through on weekdays.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and be prepared to wait if there’s a line; weekends and spring cleanup days can back up. There’s usually a scale to drive over for weighing trucks, so expect to stop twice - in and out - on busier days. Recycling bins tend to be grouped to one side and the main disposal area is a series of compacted waste cells and dirt roads, so bring something that can handle gravel and mud. North Carolina has rules about electronics and hazardous materials, so those items often need special handling elsewhere rather than being tossed with a regular load.
