Lenoir County Recycling Site

Small county recycling center just off Robinson Road that locals use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Folks from Kinston and surrounding areas pull in with bags, boxes, and the occasional bulky item. The place is aimed at diverting recyclables and runs a few collection programs for common household materials.

There’s a manned entrance booth and a few big roll-off containers and bins clustered beyond it; pull up to the booth first and they’ll direct where to drop things. Expect separate containers for things like cardboard, mixed recyclables, and scrap metal, and a fenced area for specialty items. Electronics and household hazardous materials usually have special handling under North Carolina rules, so those items often have a separate drop-off procedure. Weekends, especially spring cleanup weekends, can get backed up and traffic will form a short line out onto Robinson Road.
