💡 Good to Know in Rutherford County

✅ Before You Go

  • Rutherford County runs one landfill in Rutherfordton and ten convenience centers. County residents outside city limits pay a $190 yearly Solid Waste fee on their tax bill and use the centers free. People inside city limits and businesses may not use the centers.
  • Everyone pays at the landfill, residents included, by weight: $80 a ton for household trash and $70 a ton for construction debris. Electronics are free for county residents with ID and are not taken at the centers.
