Jackson County Solid Waste

Small county solid waste site in Sylva used mostly by locals hauling household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Close to town on Grindstaff Cove Road, it’s the sort of place people swing by for cleanup projects or regular drop-offs.

A driveway leads up to a staffed entrance booth and there’s usually a scale somewhere near the entrance, so vehicles stop for weighing. Traffic lanes split toward different drop-off piles and containers - wood and yard waste often in one area, mixed trash in another, with recycling containers set off to the side. The site feels utilitarian: gravel or paved work areas, piles or bins, and signage that points where to pull up. Expect lines on weekends and busy times, and for some items like electronics or hazardous materials to have separate state rules in North Carolina.
