Granville County Convenience Center
2796 Old N C 75, Butner, NC 27509
(919) 575-6655Small county convenience center used by Butner and nearby Granville residents for routine drop-offs. It’s the kind of place folks swing by with hauled loads of household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Expect a simple, no-frills setup rather than a big transfer station.
Pull up to a small entrance where there’s usually a booth or kiosk and a few lanes leading to the collection area. Separate roll-off containers or bins sit in a row-trash, recycling and yard waste tend to be obvious and close together. The site feels compact; trucks and pickups maneuver in tight turns, so take it slow. Weekends, especially during yard-cleaning season, can get busy and lines form at the drop-off lanes.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials and secure loose items in the truck or trailer before pulling in-it makes unloading quicker and keeps debris from blowing around.
- Bring gloves and a tarp; lifting and moving bags or branches is easier and cleaner that way.
- If towing a trailer, be ready to back in and have someone guide traffic if the lot is crowded.
