Greensboro Landfill

A large municipal landfill on the east side of Greensboro that handles the city's final disposal needs. Locals, landscapers and small haulers drop off loads here; it’s where trash that gets buried ends up. The site sits off White Street and feels like a working industrial spot rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive up to a guarded entrance booth and be prepared to pull forward onto a scale; loads are charged by weight so there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out loop. The tipping area is expansive with a broad paved apron and visible cell faces where material is pushed and covered; commercial trucks and residential pickups share the same lanes. Recycling or special material drop-offs tend to be clustered just past the entrance, and traffic can bottleneck on weekends or during yard-waste season. The overall vibe is noisy and dusty - large equipment moves constantly, so take care when unloading and watch for backing trucks.
