Bishop Road Transfer Station is the local spot in Greensboro where household trash gets dropped off, compacted, and then hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors bring loads that are easier to leave here than to drive all the way to a distant landfill. It’s used mostly by residents clearing out garages, doing yard work, or getting rid of bulky items.
The site is the kind of place with an entrance booth and a scale nearby-plan to pull up, wait in a short line for the booth, and then move to the tipping area. The transfer station itself feels industrial: large concrete bays, compactors, and trucks coming and going. Recycling bins are usually set off to the side past the entrance booth, and there’s a flow from the scale/booth area to the drop-off bays. Weekends, especially in spring or after storms, are busier and lines can form.

Before You Go
- Sort and load items in the vehicle so unloading is quick-have bulky stuff easy to reach and smaller items in boxes.
- Tie down and cover loads for the drive over; loose debris can blow out and create a mess on Bishop Road.
- North Carolina has specific rules about electronics and hazardous materials, so separate those and check state guidance before bringing them.
