Wilkes County Landfill 2

Wilkes County Landfill 2 is the county landfill out on Elkin Highway in Roaring River, used by homeowners cleaning out yards and by trucks hauling larger loads. It’s a working burial site - big open cells, heavy equipment, and plenty of room for roll-offs and pickups. County landfills like this typically charge tipping fees by weight and commonly accept commercial loads, though exact rates and rules vary by location.

When you get there there’s usually an entrance lane with a scale and a small booth where vehicles check in; plan to stop on the scale before dumping and again on the way out. The tipping area is open and gravelly, with compacted piles and machines moving material - pull up to the dumping face and follow the site signs. Loads are weighed for fees, so a brief pause for weigh-in/weigh-out is normal. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time.
