Franklin County Trash Disposal is the local disposal site at 529 Park Ave in Youngsville, used by residents hauling household trash and bulky items. Neighbors drop off everything from old furniture to regular trash here, so expect a steady stream of cars and pickups.
A small entrance booth and a weigh scale near the drive are visible from the road; vehicles usually pull up to the booth first and then move on to the drop-off areas. Concrete pads and large roll-off containers make up most of the site, with piles and bins grouped by material type; loaders and compactors may be on-site. The surface is gravel or compacted dirt in places, so be prepared for dust and mud depending on the weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency ready in the glovebox - many county sites require it for access.
- Secure and tarpaulin loose loads before driving in; wind can scatter debris and cleanup slows things down.
- Separate recyclable items at home as much as possible so unloading at the site goes faster, and remember North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous materials that usually need special handling.
