Rates and gate hours
We do not publish tipping rates or gate hours for Highlands Transfer Station, because we do not have them from a source we trust. Rather than print a number that might be two years old and cost you a wasted run, this page says so.
Call (828) 349-2100 and ask for the scale house. Ask three things: the current rate per ton for your material, the minimum charge, and what time the gate actually stops taking loads — which is often earlier than the posted closing time.
Tip here regularly? Send the current rates and hours down the page and we will publish them here. It costs nothing and it saves the next operator a phone call.
