Solid Waste Facility
Duplin County Solid Waste
245 John David Grady Rd, Albertson, NC 28508
(919) 658-0148A county solid waste site in Albertson where locals drop off household trash, yard debris and common recyclables. Small-town feel - used mostly by residents of Duplin County and nearby communities. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than a polished recycling center.
Drive up to an entrance area with an attendant booth and a lane for trucks and cars; there’s usually a scale to record loads. Recycling and yard-waste piles or bins sit separate from the general trash area, often just a short pull past the booth. The ground is compacted dirt or gravel in places and large roll-off containers and open receptacles are visible from the entrance. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a little wait time if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose yard debris-wind on the drive in can be messy and staff will expect covered loads.
- Bring a photo ID or proof of residency; many county sites check residency even if exact rules vary.
- Avoid peak times like Saturday mornings and spring cleanup weekends if a quicker trip is preferred.
