City Announces New Safety Requirements at Transfer Station and Landfill Facilities

Customers unloading items at the City of Greensboro Transfer Station and White Street Landfill are required to wear designated personal protective equipment (PPE), a safety measure that took effect June 1. The requirement is intended to enhance safety for customers, employees, and contractors, all individuals who enter unloading and disposal areas.

The PPE requirements include:

  • A high-visibility safety vest or reflective outerwear

  • Closed-toed shoes or boots (no flip flops or sandals)

The new policy is intended to reduce the risk of injuries associated with moving vehicles, heavy equipment, uneven surfaces, sharp objects, and other hazards commonly present at waste disposal sites. Customers who arrive without the required PPE may be denied access to the unloading area until proper equipment is obtained.


The Transfer Station is located at 6310 Burnt Poplar Rd. The White Street Landfill is located at 2503 White St. For information about the City's Transfer Station and White Street Landfill operations, visit www.greensboro-nc.gov/solidwasteandrecycling or call 336-373-CITY (2489).
