📈 Price History

First listed on DumpFees: November 3, 2026. The operator does not date its rate sheet. We record every change to the prices we list here, with the date.

No changes to our listed prices since we started tracking this facility.

A change means our listing changed, from a new rate sheet, a phone confirmation or a correction. See all recent changes.

⚠️The county prints no effective date for these fees. The page shows "Page last modified: July 6, 2026" but that is a page edit date, not a rate date.

⚠️The page groups C&D, concrete, limbs, decals and animal remains under "Business fees". It does not say what residents pay for C&D. Call to confirm.

⚠️Council approved a $222 per year ($18.50 per month) residential collection and disposal fee for fiscal year 2026-27 that the news report says supports C&D landfill and limb and brush disposal for residents. How that changes site access or fees is not stated (fox carolina, July 2, 2026). Call to confirm.

⚠️Regular household garbage is not accepted at the C&D landfill; use the household trash containers at the main gate.

⚠️Asbestos: the page says both that it "does NOT accept any Asbestos Material" and that it "no longer accepts large quantities of asbestos." Treat as not accepted.
