Hanes Mill Road Solid Waste Facility

A no-nonsense county solid waste spot in Winston-Salem that locals use when the curbside pickup won't take something. Cars and small trailers pull in for regular household trash, recycling, and yard material rather than special or hazardous items. The place is practical and a little rough around the edges-more like a working lot than a slick retail place.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop briefly; there’s usually a scale and a traffic flow for in and out. Large open bays and piles of yard debris are visible from the drive, with recycling bins and drop-off points grouped nearby. Weekends, especially in spring and fall, tend to be busier and the line can back up onto Hanes Mill Road. The surface is mostly gravel and pavement, and vehicles with trailers will need a bit of room to maneuver.
