(252) 827-2961Edgecombe County Recycling on Living Hope Church Rd in Pinetops is the local spot people use to drop off household recyclables. Locals bring paper, cardboard, plastics, metals and glass, and the county sometimes runs special collections for electronics or bulky items. It’s a small, no-frills drop-off that feels like a typical county recycling site.
Drive up the main driveway and look for a small office or booth near the entrance - many county centers have one and a scale further in, so be ready to pause. The recycling bins or roll-offs are usually arranged in rows off to the side, with space to pull up, unload, and move along without blocking traffic. Surfaces can be gravel or patchy pavement and things get messy after rain, so expect some dirt and loose cardboard on the ground. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to be busiest, so there can be a line to wait through.
