Cleveland County Solid Waste Recycling in Kings Mountain is the county recycling drop-off spot for residents who want to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors swing by with everything from cardboard and mixed recyclables to bulky metal and yard debris, depending on what they're cleaning out.

Pull up to a small entrance booth and be ready to slow down; there’s a scale area a little further in that most people stop at on the way out. The property is open-air with several concrete pads and large roll-off containers; bins for paper and single-stream items sit off to the right past the main drive. Trucks and trailers are common, so give extra room when backing up and watch for attendants pointing you where to place materials. Weekends fill up faster, and spring cleanup brings the longest lines.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into piles (cardboard, mixed recyclables, metal, branches) so unloading goes quicker and there’s less waiting behind you.
  • Bring straps or tarps for loads on trailers and know which side your tailgate opens from - it makes backing into drop spots much easier.
  • Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; midweek mornings tend to be quieter and easier for maneuvering large items.
