Johnsonville in Cameron is the local community dump on Ponderosa Road where residents bring household trash and typical curbside-type loads. Neighbors and small haulers use it for drop-offs rather than large commercial transfers. The site fits a small-town scale - not flashy, just practical for the area.

Drive in off Ponderosa and look for the entrance and a small office or booth where attendants usually direct traffic; expect to pull up, unload, then move to a weigh scale or exit lane depending on how they're running things that day. There are piles and dumpsters out in the open, with separate areas for bulk items and regular trash; recycling containers are often grouped to one side. The site feels more industrial than tidy - gravel or paved drives, big metal containers, and a working-yard look. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so plan accordingly.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with tarps or straps so things don’t blow out while driving into town; loose debris can slow unloading and make a mess.
  • Sort bulky items and recyclables at home before driving over; having things separated shortens time at the drop-off point.
  • If bringing electronics or hazardous items, remember North Carolina has specific rules for those materials - check state guidance beforehand so those items aren’t unexpectedly refused.
