Small county landfill out on Crouse Road that locals use for household cleanouts and business drops. Trucks and trailers are common here, so expect it to serve both residential and commercial users. The site handles final disposal - this is where things get buried, not recycled.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale; vehicles usually stop at the scale and are weighed, so plan for a short delay coming and going. The yard is mostly compacted dirt and gravel with large, layered mounds of cover soil and refuse; drive carefully and watch for heavy equipment. Expect to pull up to a tipping area where loads are dumped, then be waved through to leave. North Carolina has separate rules for electronics and hazardous items, so those won’t be treated the same as regular household trash.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or a tarp - loose debris blowing out of trailers is a real hassle and slower to unload.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; spring cleanup days get long lines and extra wait time.
- Segregate anything that might be electronic or hazardous before coming; the state treats those differently and they’re often handled at other facilities.
