Safety at Charlotte Motor Speedway

At Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill, keeping our community and our workers safe is the most important thing we do. Safety is a priority throughout our operation, from the very base of our landfill’s liner to the trucks we screen as they enter our gates. We ask that customers dropping off items to the landfill bring and complete an Origin Report Form and adhere to our safety requirements.

How We Protect The Community

  • Built strong: Charlotte Motor Speedway is permitted as a Class I Landfill. We accept everyday trash, special waste, commercial waste and industrial waste. We do not accept hazardous waste, liquid waste or untreated medical waste.

  • Protective of groundwater: A double composite liner system protects groundwater by acting as a barrier between waste and environment. Liquid drainage is collected and sent to a treatment system.

  • Monitored continuously: Sophisticated safety equipment and trained personnel monitor all aspects of the landfill and ensure that only non-hazardous materials are disposed of at the site.

  • Screened for radiation: We use specialized instruments to check for radiation. If any is detected, the material in question is rejected.

  • Screened for electronic waste: Load checks take place every day to prevent and minimize e-waste disposal.

  • Exceeds standards: Our industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill meets and/or exceeds all regulatory requirements, obligations and safety standards.

  • Frequent inspections: Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill is fully permitted and inspected regularly by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.
