Coastal Regional Solid Waste Manag. Authority

Small regional facility outside New Bern where residents and small haulers bring household trash, yard debris and common recyclables. Quiet-looking from the road but busy on weekend mornings. Locals use it for seasonal cleanups and routine drop-offs.

Drive up a gravel or paved approach to a manned booth and be ready to pull forward for directions; many sites have a scale you pass on the way in and again on the way out. The site is spread out with big open tipping areas, piles or roll-off containers and a separate section for recyclables or brush. Expect to walk a short distance to toss items into the right container, with signage or painted lanes marking traffic flow. Weekend queues are common, especially during spring cleanups or after storms, so there can be a line to get through the gate.
