Fogleman Landfill

Fogleman Landfill is Durham’s municipal landfill at 4005 Intermere Rd, where household and larger loads end up for burial. Locals and commercial haulers both use this site to drop off trash that won’t go to curbside pickup.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale since tipping fees are charged by weight at most landfills. Pull up where the attendant directs - there’s usually a clear lane for commercial trucks and a separate one for smaller vehicles. The site is large and mostly open, with working faces of compacted refuse and heavy equipment moving around; expect a dustier, industrial feel rather than a tidy recycling center. In North Carolina, electronics and hazardous materials are handled under separate rules, so don’t mix those items in a regular landfill load.
