Hoke County Solid Waste Center

A county-run solid waste center in Raeford that locals use for household trash, yard debris, and drop-off recycling. Small-town scale-enough lanes for pickups and trailers but not a massive regional landfill, so it feels like a practical place to take bulk loads.

Drive up to a concrete entrance with a small attendant booth where vehicles pause briefly; there’s usually a scale somewhere along the driveway so trucks often stop twice. Recycling and yard-waste areas are separate from the general drop-off, with open-top containers and concrete tipping pads that look industrial but simple. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends tend to have the longest lines, so arriving later in the day or midweek eases the wait. Expect to handle unloading of materials from the vehicle to the appropriate container or pile.
