Who can use it
The official Solid Waste page describes the Moore County Landfill and staffed collection sites and does not state a residency limit for the landfill itself. County residents (individuals) may drop off as many as 5 tires a day at no charge, and the landfill accepts tires from county businesses only with a scrap tire certification as required by G.S. 130A-309.58(f). All loads coming into the landfill must be covered with a secured tarp. A vehicle without a covered load will not be turned away, but will be subject to a $50 fee in addition to current landfill fees. Moore County does not provide curbside service; that is provided by municipalities or private parties.
Hours
- Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
- The official page describes the landfill as being in Aberdeen, off Highway 5. The official listing did not include a ZIP code when checked.
