Rowan County Landfill
Rowan County Landfill, 789 Campbell Road, Woodleaf, 27054, North Carolina
Rowan County Landfill on Campbell Road is the county dump for Woodleaf and the surrounding area. Locals show up with everything from a couple of bagged trash to truckloads, and bigger vehicles are common here.
There’s a drive-up booth and a scale - tipping fees at county landfills are typically charged by weight, so expect to be weighed. Pull up to the scale lane and plan on being directed where to unload before weighing out again. The site is large with dirt roads and compacted cells of trash; there’s room for trucks but the ground can be rough. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so allow extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items before getting there - loose debris blows and slows unloading.
- Have loads sorted as much as possible (metal separate from bulky trash, for example) to save time at the drop point.
- Dress for dust and mud and be ready to stop twice for the scale; small trucks can take longer to maneuver around bigger haulers.
