Solid Waste Facility
Cumberland County Solid Waste
1066 Wade-Stedman Rd, Stedman, NC 28391
(910) 486-6837Cumberland County Solid Waste in Stedman is the county's solid waste facility for general household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Locals and small haulers use it for drop-offs and cleanup runs. The site feels like a working county operation rather than a slick private transfer station.
Drive up the lane to a small entrance booth and roll past a visible scale area; many county facilities weigh loads, so expect to stop twice. Recycling containers and yard waste piles are typically grouped off to the side, with larger compactors and open tipping areas farther in. The lot is mostly gravel and pavement with open-air tipping faces rather than enclosed bays. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so plan for some wait time if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort trash, recyclables and yard waste before getting out of the vehicle so unloading is quicker.
- Bring a tarp or straps to keep loose material contained-windy days scatter debris and slow things down.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; peak times are weekend afternoons and spring cleanup weekends when lines form.
