Lenoir County Landfill is the county dump out on Hodges Farm Road in La Grange, used by homeowners and commercial haulers alike. It’s the place where the county buries trash rather than recycles or composts it.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop at a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles usually get weighed in and out. The site looks like a typical landfill: dirt roads, piles of compacted trash, and heavy equipment working the cells. Commercial loads are accepted, so expect some big trucks alongside pickup trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home; loose trash blows everywhere and slows unloading.
- Plan extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup-lines and scale waits get long.
- Have a plan for where to unload in your vehicle (can’t always back in close to the working face), and wear sturdy shoes for walking around the site.
