Buffalo Road Convenience Center

A small neighborhood convenience center used by Clayton residents to drop off household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. It’s the kind of place locals swing by for quick drops rather than full-service transfer station visits.

Pull into a modest paved lot with roll-off containers and a few smaller bins grouped by material; the recycling containers are often set off to one side and yard waste has its own pile area. A simple booth or sign marks the entrance and directs traffic flow, and lanes are narrow enough that trucks and trailers need to maneuver slowly. The site feels basic - practical concrete pads, metal dumpsters, and room to back up to a container - so bring gloves and a tarp for loose material. North Carolina requires special handling for electronics and hazardous household items, so those usually aren’t left with regular trash and should be handled following county guidance.
