Wagener Landfill is the county landfill out on Wagener Trail - the place trucks and folks from around Salley bring trash to be buried. Locals, small haulers and commercial drivers all use it since it’s the final stop for non-recycled material in the area.
Expect a scale near the entrance where vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight; plan to stop twice - in and out. There’s usually an attendant or booth to check you in, and traffic flows toward large open cells and bermed piles where material is deposited. The site is large and mostly gravel and compacted dirt, so slow down and watch for big trucks and uneven surfaces. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads with a tarp before leaving home - loose material can blow off on the drive and can get flagged when you pull up to the scale.
- Have paperwork ready for commercial loads and a clear description of what’s being hauled; that speeds things through the booth and scale.
- Use a truck or trailer that can handle rough, uneven ground and give yourself extra time on busy weekends to avoid feeling rushed.
