Craven County Solid Waste Department

Small county facility in New Bern that handles regular household trash and common recyclables, used mainly by residents and small haulers. It's the kind of place neighbors drop by with yard debris, old furniture, or bags from a cleanup day. Located on Craven Street, it's easy to spot from the road.

Drive up to a single entrance where there's usually a booth and someone checking vehicles-expect to pull up and speak with them before proceeding. A scale is often in the traffic flow so vehicles may be routed over it on the way in or out and stops can be required. The site looks like a typical transfer area with several large roll-off containers and piles for different materials; recycling bins tend to sit off to one side. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, so lines can form at the entrance.
