Moore County Landfill

Moore County Landfill sits out on Turning Leaf Way in Aberdeen and is where most household and commercial trash ends up when it needs to be buried. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers bring everything from yard debris to bagged household garbage; commercial trucks are handled here as well. The site is the county’s main landfill for this area of North Carolina.

There's a single entry with a small booth to check in and a scale that most vehicles cross - the place charges by weight, so expect to stop on the way out for the final weigh ticket. The tipping area and active disposal cell are open and fairly obvious, with heavy machinery moving dirt and compacting loads; larger commercial trucks usually have a separate lane or staging area. Recycling or drop-off containers are typically off to one side past the entrance booth, while the working face of the landfill is loud and dusty compared with the access road.
