Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill

Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill, 9650 Oxford Road, Rougemont, 27572, North Carolina

Get Directions

Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill on Oxford Road in Rougemont is the regional spot people use when a pickup bed or trailer is too full for curbside pickup. It’s literally the final place trash gets buried, so it’s all business - not pretty, but it works. Contractors and residents both show up with big loads.

There’s a scale/scale house at the entrance, so plan on being weighed and possibly stopping more than once because tipping fees are set by weight or volume. Pull up to the booth, follow directions to the active tipping area, and be prepared to back a trailer up to dump; heavy equipment and compactors are usually working nearby. The yard is mostly gravel and packed dirt with large mounds and lined cells, so expect dust and truck traffic. Weekends, especially spring cleanup, can get backed up and commercial haulers often move through on a separate schedule.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads before leaving the driveway - loose debris is a hassle at the scale and along Oxford Road.
  • Leave extra room for truck traffic and equipment; backing a trailer into the tipping face is common, so approach slowly and watch for big rigs.
  • If hauling for a business, come with vehicle or business credentials ready; regional landfills typically handle commercial loads differently and charge different tipping rates.
