Iredell County Transfer Station

158 Macleod Dr, Mooresville, NC 28117

(704) 663-5314

Small county transfer station serving Mooresville residents, located on Macleod Drive. People drop off household trash and smaller loads here so the county can compact it and haul it off to a landfill elsewhere.

Drive up to an entrance booth and prepare to stop for a scale; the site typically charges by weight so expect to cross it again on the way out. There will be a paved drive leading to a building or open unloading pads where trucks compact material into larger trailers. The place looks more industrial than pretty - concrete pads, compactors, and transfer trailers are the main sights. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get backed up so lines and slow-moving trucks are common.

Before You Go

  • Separate anything that might be handled differently at the county level - North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous materials, so keep those items apart and labeled.
  • Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; loose trash or shifting items slow unloading and can lead to extra trips through the site.
  • Bring proof of county residency if required by local facilities and be prepared for waits on weekend mornings and public clean-up days.
