Duplin County Solid Waste in Magnolia is the county drop-off for household trash, yard debris and county recycling services. Locals and small haulers use it when cleaning out a garage or doing yard work, and semi-regular traffic shows up on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Drive in off NC-50 and slow down for the entrance area; there’s a booth and a visible scale as part of the roadway. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs and arrows to the recycling bins and the larger drop areas; the recycling bins sit off to the right a short way past the entrance. Expect the site to look like a typical county transfer area with roll-off containers, concrete pads and an open tipping area where trucks back in. Lines form on busy weekends, and trucks or noisy equipment are common, so plan for some waiting and a bit of dust.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the truck or trailer before getting to the booth so unloading is faster and less confusing for the driver.
- Avoid prime weekend hours if possible; early weekday mornings tend to move quicker for small loads.
- Secure tarps and loose items on trailers to prevent debris during the drive and while waiting in line.
