A small, no-frills drop-off spot used mostly by folks around Lansing to dump household trash, recyclables and yard debris. The site looks like a typical county convenience center - short drive-up lanes, a small attendant booth area, and larger roll-off containers lined up on gravel.
Drive in on McNeil Road and pick a lane; there’s usually a place to pull up near the booth or the first row of containers. Trash, recycling and yard waste are split into separate containers, with the recycling bins often off to one side and the yard debris in a pile or a green box. The surface is gravel or compacted stone, so expect dust or mud depending on weather. North Carolina has special handling for electronics and hazardous materials, so those items are handled differently than regular trash at most county centers.

Before You Go
- Come with things already sorted - it’s faster to back up to the right container if recyclables and yard waste are separated beforehand.
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs if hauling loose yard debris; windy days make a mess and loose loads can blow.
- Plan for a bit of waiting on weekend mornings or during seasonal cleanups-line can form and people take time to unload large items.
