County Solid Waste Transfer Station

County Solid Waste Transfer Station in Weaverville is the local spot where household trash and recyclables get dropped off before being compacted and hauled to a larger landfill. Neighbors and small-scale haulers use it when driving to the distant landfill isn’t worth the trip. It sits at 173 Tom Bell Rd and looks like the kind of county-run place that’s busy on weekends.

Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area-transfer stations usually charge by weight, so expect to stop twice: in and out. There’s a fenced yard with big roll-off bays and compactors, and trucks move in and out regularly; it’s louder and dustier than a recycle drop-off. Recycling or organics containers are often set off to one side, so keep an eye out for signs and arrows as you drive in. Lines build up during spring cleanup and weekend mornings, so plan for a bit of waiting if it’s a busy day.
