Waste Facility
Mars Hill Collection Center No. 2
600 Parkway View Rd, Mars Hill, NC 28754
(828) 649-2311Mars Hill Collection Center No. 2 is the local drop-off for household trash and community disposal needs in Mars Hill. Neighbors bring everything from curbside overflow to the stuff left after a big cleanup. The site sits off Parkway View Road and gets steady use, especially on weekends.
Drive in past a small scale and a booth where vehicles pull up to stop and pay before unloading. There’s an open yard with piles and containers, so expect to follow signs and arrows to the right area for what’s being dropped off. Trucks and trailers are common, and larger vehicles sometimes have to maneuver slowly - give yourself a little extra room. Lines form on busy days, so plan for a short wait if arriving mid-morning or on a Saturday.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps; loose debris can be a hassle when backing up to containers.
- Have items separated by type in the truck so unloading goes faster - keep bulky stuff together and lighter items handy.
- Bring gloves and footwear suitable for walking around a yard with loose gravel and uneven surfaces.
