Harnett County Convenience Centers
5119-5341 Old US Hwy 421, Lillington, NC 27546
(910) 893-7508A small, county-run convenience center in Lillington for local residents to drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Mostly used by folks from around Harnett County who need a quick place to unload smaller loads rather than hauling to a landfill.
Pull off Old US 421 into a paved lot with a short drive lane and a small entrance booth near the front. Several large roll-off containers sit in a row-one for regular trash, others for recyclables and yard waste-so vehicles pull up to the bin they need. The site feels utilitarian: concrete pads, metal containers, and basic signage marking where to put each item. Expect occasional lines on weekend mornings and a compact layout that makes backing up a little tight with trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for loose loads; wind can toss lightweight debris when dumping.
- Sort cardboard and recyclables in the vehicle beforehand so unloading goes faster and fewer trips to the wrong bin are needed.
- Avoid peak weekend mornings if possible-arrive late morning or midweek to skip the longest lines.
