Barden C & D Landfill is the large Graniteville site where construction and demolition material-and other final-burial refuse-gets taken. Locals and contractors both use it; it’s the kind of place trucks and trailers are a constant presence.
Drive up to a single entrance with a small booth and a visible scale nearby; this is a landfill where loads are typically weighed, so expect to stop on the scale and likely again on the way out. The property is expansive with rows of working cells and heavy equipment moving material; visualize dirt ramps, compactors, and piles rather than neat bins. Tipping fees are usually charged by weight at places like this, and commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills of this scale, so bring paperwork for business loads if needed. Lines can form, especially on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, and trucks will often pull forward to a designated tipping spot before being directed where to dump.
