How to Purchase or Renew a Landfill DecalLandfill decals are good at the Landfill and all of the Convenience Centers (Drop-Off Locations). Citizens who use the Convenience Centers to dispose of their household garbage are required to purchase a decal annually and affix it on their vehicle's windshield. The price of this decal covers a portion of the costs associated with operating the centers, transportation of waste, and Landfill fees. Decals may be purchased by completing the application available online and mailing the completed application and fees to: Johnston County Public Utilities
Proof of Johnston County residency is required for purchasing a decal. Decals may also be purchased in person at the Public Utilities Office in the Land Use Center at 309 E. Market Street in Smithfield. Decals are mailed through the United States Postal Service once payment has been received. For more information about Landfill decals, please contact the Public Utilities department at 919-989-5075.

All other items taken to the Landfill are subject to a disposal fee. For information about these items or any other questionable items, please call the Johnston County Solid Waste Division at 919-938-4750. Littering is punishable under state law and county ordinance.
