Robeson County Landfill
Robeson County Landfill, 246 Landfill Road, St. Pauls, 28384, North Carolina
Robeson County Landfill on Landfill Road in St. Pauls is the county dump where locals and local contractors bring household and construction debris. It’s a large, working landfill where trash is buried rather than processed. Folks who haul loads come here for final disposal rather than drop-off recycling only.
Expect a scale and an entrance booth when you drive in - most landfills charge by weight, so plan to be weighed in and out. The site is open and rugged, with gravel drives, piles of compacted material and big equipment moving around; drive slow and watch for trucks. Pull into the area for unloading as directed, get emptied, then head back over the scale before leaving. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so it can get slow at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items before getting to the gate - loose trash blows everywhere and slows unloading.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at home so unloading is faster; having things separated saves time once on site.
- Be prepared for weight-based tipping fees: small residential loads often hit a minimum fee and commercial loads are typically charged under a different structure at county landfills.
