Wayne County Landfill

Wayne County Landfill, 460B South Landfill Road, Dudley, 28333, North Carolina

Wayne County Landfill sits out on 460B South Landfill Road in Dudley - the place the county uses to bury municipal and larger commercial trash. Folks from the neighborhood, contractors and small haulers show up when pickup won’t handle the load.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale; county landfills like this typically record weights for tipping fees, so expect to be weighed and billed on a minimum-plus-per-weight basis rather than a flat item fee. Pull onto packed gravel or dirt roads past growing mounds and active cells, with big trucks and trailers working around the site. Drivers usually stop at the scale coming in and again on the way out, and loads are dumped into active cells and covered. Lines get longer on weekends and during spring cleanup, and wind can send loose debris around, so keep things tied down.

Before You Go

  • Cover and strap down everything-loose trash blows off trucks and creates extra work while waiting in line.
  • Have gloves, a shovel and knee protection handy; trailers often need a little shoveling to get everything out cleanly.
  • Avoid weekend midday runs if possible; early weekday visits tend to move faster when commercial traffic is lighter.
