(336) 877-5397

Small, no-frills convenience center serving West Jefferson residents for curbside overflow and household drop-offs. Neighbors use it for quick trips - tossing out bags of trash, bringing recyclables, or dropping yard debris that won’t fit at the curb.

Expect a compact, drive-up layout with a few large containers or roll-offs rather than a full transfer-station setup. Pull up to the drop area, sort items into the clearly marked containers, and drive out once unloaded. The site typically handles regular trash, recyclables and yard waste in separate containers, so having things separated ahead of time speeds the visit. Electronics and hazardous household materials are subject to North Carolina rules and often require special handling or separate collection options.

Before You Go

  • Pre-sort cardboard, mixed recycling and yard debris at home so unloading goes fast and traffic keeps moving.
  • Secure loose trash and cover open loads for the drive in; dropped or dusty loads slow everyone down and can be a safety issue.
  • Avoid weekend peak times if possible - spring cleanup weekends are especially busy - and bring gloves and strong shoes; it’s a working site with heavy lids and sharp edges.
