Oakridge Landfill

Oakridge Landfill is the big county landfill out on Highway 78 that handles the final disposal of solid waste for the area. Local residents and commercial haulers both use it when things need to be buried rather than dropped at a convenience center. It sits on a large parcel with visible mounds and heavy truck traffic that makes it feel more industrial than the small transfer stations nearby.

Drive up to an entrance booth and then pull onto a scale-they charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out after unloading. The tipping area is past the scale; large trucks and roll‑offs maneuver around the working faces while smaller trailers are directed to a separate drop zone. The site is mostly compacted dirt and gravel with heavy equipment moving around, so expect dust and some mud after rain. Because this is in coastal South Carolina, operations can shift during storm season and there are usually notices or temporary changes when a hurricane threat is active.
