Waste Facility
Franklin County Convience Center HWY 56
3811 NC-56, Louisburg, NC 27549
Small county convenience center on NC-56 that locals use to unload household trash and recyclables. Mostly serves Franklin County residents and vehicles from nearby towns looking for a straightforward drop-off spot.
A modest site with an entrance booth and a lane to pull up for check-in, followed by a short drive past some open-top containers and recycling bins. There's usually a scale where vehicles stop on the way out, so expect to slow down twice if hauling a load. The recycling bins sit to the right a little past the booth, and larger dumpsters or roll-off areas are down a short drive from the entrance. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get busier and lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort junk ahead of time so glass, cardboard and bulky items are grouped - saves time at the drop-off points.
- Have proof of residency handy in the vehicle; many county centers check that before accepting residential loads.
- Bring help or straps for heavy items; lifting appliances or furniture solo on uneven ground can be tougher than it looks.
