Goldmine Road Residential Waste & Recycling Center

Goldmine Road Residential Waste & Recycling Center in Monroe is where local households bring recyclables instead of tossing them in the regular trash. Neighbors drop off things like cardboard, paper, bottles, cans and items that need special handling under North Carolina rules such as electronics or certain household hazardous materials. It’s the nearby recycling center for the area around 4600 Goldmine Rd.

Drive to the entrance off Goldmine Road and look for an incoming lane and a small booth area where traffic is directed; cars and small trailers are common here. Drop-off areas are usually grouped by material type, with large bins or open bays and clear signs for each pile; larger vehicles pull up close and walk small items to the proper container. Expect a compact, industrial lot with concrete pads, metal containers, and the occasional roll-off; weekends, especially in spring, tend to be busier than weekday mornings. Because North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous stuff, those items are handled separately and will likely have a different drop-off point or procedure.
