Davidson County Landfill

A working landfill just off NC-109 in Denton that handles the end-of-the-line trash for Davidson County residents and businesses. Trucks of all sizes pull in here to dump loads that won't fit in curbside bins, and local folks swing by with trailers during big cleanups.

A scale near the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed means there’s usually a short pause coming and going. A small attendant booth sits close by and traffic is directed past it toward the active tipping face or cells; expect to follow signage and traffic flow. The site is large and mostly exposed - dirt roads, piles of compacted material, heavy equipment at work - so drive slowly and watch for loaders and dump trucks. Because North Carolina separates certain materials like electronics and hazardous items, those things are handled differently than regular household trash and won't be mixed in with normal loads.
