Recycling Center

Buies Creek Convenience & Recycling Site

117 Kivett Rd, Lillington, NC 27546

(910) 893-1601

Small local recycling center in Lillington used mostly by residents dropping off household recyclables and occasional yard debris. Locals bring everything from flattened cardboard to scrap metal and bags of mixed cans and bottles, and North Carolina does have separate rules for electronics and hazardous items that should be followed.

The place looks like a modest county site with outdoor roll-off containers and recycling bins rather than a big industrial plant. Expect to pull in, sort materials by type, and unload to the appropriate container; many neighborhood centers also have a small entrance booth and a scale. Weekends and spring cleanup times often mean a line, so plan for a short wait if traffic is heavy. Keep items loose or bundled for quick unloading - that makes the process go faster for everyone.

Before You Go

  • Flatten boxes and bundle paper beforehand so they fit in the cardboard bin without extra handling.
  • Separate metals, glass, and mixed recyclables into different bags or containers in the vehicle to speed unloading.
  • Keep electronics and anything potentially hazardous (batteries, paints, chemicals) separated and labelled - North Carolina has specific handling rules for those materials and many sites treat them differently.
