Edgecombe County Landfill

Edgecombe County Landfill on Colonial Road in Tarboro is the county landfill where household and larger loads are taken to be buried. Neighbors, landscapers, and haulers use it when trash needs final disposal. It’s a working dump-big, dusty in places, with heavy equipment moving around.

There’s a scale near the entrance so loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight; plan on stopping to be weighed when you come in and again when you leave. Pull up to a small booth/scale house for directions, then follow the flow to a drop-off area or active cell where trucks and loaders operate. Expect hard-packed dirt, piles of compacted material, and heavy machinery; large trucks will be turning and backing, so give plenty of room. Many county landfills also handle commercial haulers and have a tiered tipping fee structure, but specific acceptance rules and fees for Edgecombe County should be checked with county sources.
