PROJECT
Sampson County Landfill – Roseboro, NC
CLIENT
Waste Industries (now GFL Environmental)
ENGINEER
Smith-Gardner
SITUATION
In a relatively rural county, inland from the coastal area stands the largest landfill footprint in the state of North Carolina. In addition to receiving an influx of storm-related trash every few years from major hurricanes, the Sampson County Landfill receives municipal trash from Wake County and North Carolina’s Capital City – Raleigh – daily as a result of growing populations.
SOLUTION
A tried and true relationship with the client. We have a long track record of working with Waste Industries and Smith-Gardner across the southeastern U.S., constructing and closing landfills, and completing 11 projects to-date.
OUTCOME
- For more than two decades, Glover Construction has developed this 135-acre landfill site for Waste Industries and GFL Environmental.
- Glover Construction has moved more than 2.8 million cubic yards overall at this site alone.
- We have been working with a skilled and reliable workforce from the surrounding area, including superintendents, foremen and equipment operators, many of whom have been with us since the first few projects two decades ago.
- Contract Value: Approximately $55 million across all past projects at the Sampson County Landfill.
