Iredell Central Transfer Station

A no-frills transfer station in Statesville where locals drop off household trash and small loads from haulers. Trucks compact the material on site and then haul it to a landfill elsewhere, so it’s more convenient than driving to a distant dump. People from nearby neighborhoods and small businesses use it for quicker trips than a full-scale landfill.

Drive up to an entrance area with a small booth and a lane for vehicles to stop before moving to the tipping area. The site is industrial - concrete pads, large roll-off bays and heavy trucks coming and going; expect noise and the smell common to active transfer points. Loads are typically dumped into a pit or hopper and then compacted before being loaded onto larger trucks. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanouts, so plan for short waits.
