Solid Waste Facility
Bladen County Solid Waste
1522 Mercer Mill Rd Ext, Elizabethtown, NC 28337
(910) 645-4279Small county landfill and drop-off site a short drive out of Elizabethtown, used by local residents hauling household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. The place looks like a working municipal site rather than a tidy retail center, with trucks and trailers coming and going most days.
A simple entrance with a small booth and a place to pull up to talk to attendants is common, and there’s usually a scale nearby that trucks use. Recycling bins and yard waste piles are typically grouped to one side, while larger roll-off containers sit farther back. Surfaces are gravel or packed dirt in spots, so trailers can get dusty and a bit bumpy. Weekends and spring cleanup times bring the longest lines, so traffic can back up through the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads separated as much as possible before arriving - recyclables, brush, and general trash are easier to unload when sorted.
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads; wind and road bumps can scatter yard debris and lightweight items.
- Plan for a wait on weekends or during seasonal cleanups; arriving early in the day usually means a shorter line.
