If you can spare the extra 20 minutes to go to another landfill, I strongly recommend. You’ll probably save money and time with how long it takes to go through their line. They dump construction debris with trash, so you are almost guaranteed to get a nail in your tires. They also will not allow you to dump yard waste in the landfill so if you have a customer load it all up in one bin, they will make you separate it so they can put the yard debris in a mulched and make money. TERIBBLE LANDFILL.

This is honestly the worst landfill/recycle center we use on a daily basis. They charge more and maintain less than any other landfill recycling center around. We try to avoid this landfill as much as possible. Our most recent experience here was they don’t take yard debris and trash mixed together in the landfill. We must separate the load or go somewhere else. We’ve already waited a 30 minutes to even get weighed don’t have much time to go anywhere else. There is no reason to not take the load mixed other than them waiting to make a profit off the yard debris. We understand the recycling portions but some loads are a mix and there’s nothing we can do about it. They should be ashamed with how much money they have coming in and they do this to their repeat customers.

This a great county resource. They take just about anything you’re trying to get rid of. Be it engine oil, paint, batteries, and glass bottles.

Thank you.
Pull up to the weigh scale to weigh. Usually have to give a credit card or 100 cash for deposit. Pull around to proper dump area for what you have, then re weigh on scale and pay total dump price. Fyi. Mondays are worst day to go. Non stop lines
Mecklenburg County residents can bring up 10 gallons of gasoline to any of our Full Service Recycling Centers. Please be sure to stop at the Fee booth as they will need to verify residency and issue you a sticker.
