Wayne County Landfill

Wayne County Landfill is the county dump on S Landfill Road that handles household and commercial trash headed for burial. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers bring loads here; it’s the final stop where material gets buried rather than recycled. The site serves Dudley and the surrounding area in North Carolina, where electronics and hazardous materials follow state-specific rules.

There’s a scale you’ll cross to get weighed, so plan for a short stop on the way in and again when you leave since tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up to the entrance booth for direction, then follow the road to the active cell area where trucks and pickups tip out. The place looks like earthwork and berms with heavy equipment moving around; surfaces can be dusty or muddy depending on weather. Recycling or drop-off containers are often set off to one side, and commercial roll-offs and larger trucks are commonly seen coming and going.
