Waste Facility
Chatham County Collection Center
34 Mt View Church Rd, Moncure, NC 27559
(919) 542-7297Small county collection center serving Moncure and nearby residents looking to drop off household refuse and recyclables. It’s the kind of place locals use for routine cleanouts and weekend loads. Expect a working, no-frills facility rather than anything slick or commercial.
Drive up to a simple entrance area with a booth where staff manage traffic and direct vehicles. There’s a scale and a couple of lanes for pull-up unloading, so be prepared to stop and then back up to the appropriate pile or container. The site looks utilitarian - concrete pads, open roll-off containers and a handful of recycling bins off to the side. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get busy, so lines can form at the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure trash and yard debris in the truck bed or trailer; loose items can blow out during the short drive and make unloading slower.
- Bring gloves and a hand truck or tarp for heavy or awkward items so dropping off goes faster once at the container.
- Load the vehicle so the heaviest stuff is ready to come out first; it speeds the whole process when it’s time to unload at the bay or container.
