East Carolina Regional Landfill

East Carolina Regional Landfill on Republican Road in Aulander is where larger household cleanouts and commercial loads end up being buried. This is a regional-scale landfill with tractor‑trailers and pickup loads side by side. Facilities like this typically use a scale-based tipping fee system and handle commercial deliveries.

Expect an entrance booth and a scale-drivers usually stop to be weighed and fees are based on that weight, often with minimums and separate commercial rates. The site looks like big graded cells and dirt roads rather than a tidy transfer station; large trucks, roll‑offs and loose debris are common sights. Wind can blow small stuff around, so debris on the road or near the active face is something to watch. Weekends and spring cleanup times get the longest lines.
