Cedar Ridge Landfill

Cedar Ridge Landfill is the big county landfill out on Mooresville Highway that folks from Lewisburg and nearby areas use when they have large loads that won’t fit in curbside pickup. It’s a true landfill - the place where trash gets buried - used by both homeowners with big cleanups and by commercial haulers who need a final drop-off. The scale of the site is obvious driving in; it’s not a tiny transfer station but a full-scale disposal site.

A drive-up entrance leads to a weigh station and an attendant booth; the scale means loads are typically charged by weight, so there’s a stop entering and another on the way out. Traffic lanes and large compacted trash cells are visible from the working area, with trucks backing up to active tipping faces. Expect to line up during busy times like weekends or spring cleanup; larger commercial trucks are commonly present. Recycling or drop-off bins, if available, tend to be off to one side rather than in the main tipping area.
