Waste Facility
Union County Land Fill (Commercial Only Entrance)
2135 Austin Chaney Rd, Wingate, NC 28174
(704) 233-5334Small commercial entrance to the Union County Land Fill off Austin Chaney Road, used mostly by local contractors and businesses hauling regular trash loads. Located in Wingate, this is where commercial trucks pull in for disposal rather than a residential drop-off.
Drive up to a small booth at the entrance where commercial vehicles are processed and directed onto the site. There’s a scale for trucks to be weighed, so expect to stop twice if bringing a load. The site is a working landfill-dirt roads, piles, and heavy equipment are visible from most spots. Recycling or special streams aren’t obvious from the road, and North Carolina has separate rules for electronics and hazardous materials, so treat those as separate items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have paperwork and vehicle identification ready for the commercial entrance to keep the line moving.
- Expect slow-moving trucks and lookouts for heavy equipment; approach cautiously and give large vehicles plenty of room.
- Segregate electronics and anything potentially hazardous before arrival since state rules may require different handling for those items.
