Great Oak Landfill
Great Oak Landfill, 3597 Old Cedar Falls Road, Randleman, 27317, North Carolina
Great Oak Landfill sits off Old Cedar Falls Road in Randleman and handles local trash that needs burying. Homeowners, contractors and larger trucked loads come through here. It’s a working landfill-big, dusty and very much an industrial site.
There’s a scale house/entrance booth where trucks are weighed; most landfills use weight-based tipping fees so expect to stop at the scale on the way in or out. The property is large with open tipping pads and heavy equipment moving loads, so give big vehicles plenty of room. Pull into the marked lane at the booth, get directed to a drop area, then back up or walk the load to the tipping spot. Lines build up on weekends and during spring-cleanup, so timing matters.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp - wind blows leaves and debris out of open beds and onto the road.
- Plan on being weighed in and weighed out; tipping fees are typically calculated by weight, which affects the total charge.
- If hauling commercially, allow extra time for maneuvering and expect separate pricing for business loads.
