I. N. Carter Convenience and Recycling Center

I. N. Carter Convenience and Recycling Center is a local recycling center in north Fayetteville used by residents looking to keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors drop off household recyclables and larger items here instead of hauling them off to transfer stations.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there's usually a scale and an attendant at the gate for traffic control. The recycling bins and drop-off areas are spread out over a compact, industrial-looking yard with big containers for different materials. Electronics and any hazardous items are handled separately - North Carolina has specific rules for those, so expect special drop-off processes for them. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so wait times can build up.
