About This Location

WM Great Oak Landfill at 3597 Old Cedar Falls Road in Randleman, North Carolina is an active Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill operated by Waste Management. The WM Solutions facility page classifies it as a Management Facility (Disposal) — a commercial and municipal disposal site rather than a free public recycling drop-off. It accepts municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris (including LEED C&D), biosolids, asbestos (friable and non-friable, in designated areas), auto shredder fluff, coal combustion products, incinerator ash, non-RCRA industrial sludges, clean and contaminated non-hazardous soils, treated wood and yard/green waste; it does not accept hazardous waste. All loads are weighed at the scale house and charged a tipping fee. Randolph County residents whose household waste exceeds county convenience-site limits may bring loads here at commercial rates, subject to a one-ton minimum. For routine household recycling, Randolph County residents should use the county's manned convenience sites instead.
