Waste Management - Great Oak Landfill

A large landfill just off Old Cedar Falls Road in Randleman, used by homeowners and haulers who need to dispose of final burial waste. It’s the kind of place local contractors and people clearing out a house end up visiting when refuse needs to be buried rather than recycled. The site handles big loads and the trucks are a common sight coming and going.

Drive in and you'll notice a weigh scale and an entrance booth before getting to the tipping area; landfills like this typically charge tipping fees based on weight. Expect to pull up, check in at the booth, then head to the active cell or working face to unload; paths are usually gravel and can be dusty. The whole site is spread out with large mounds of compacted material and equipment like compactors and roll‑offs moving around. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so lines can form at the scale.
