Moore County Solid Waste Division
5361 U.S. 15-501, Carthage, NC 28327
(910) 947-2704Moore County Solid Waste Division in Carthage is the local spot people use to drop off household trash, yard debris, and recycling. Neighbors from around Moore County swing by with pickups, trailers, and carloads depending on what they're getting rid of.
There’s a drive-up entrance with an attended booth and a large paved area where vehicles pull in and line up. A scale is usually part of the flow, so plan for a brief stop before you leave since many county sites charge by weight. Recycling bins and the yard waste piles are easy to spot from the main drive; the drop-off points are grouped but require a little backing up or maneuvering with a trailer. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get busy and slower-moving traffic is common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort loads before getting to the gate-separate recyclables, brush, and general trash so unloading goes faster.
- Cover loose materials and secure tarps on trucks or trailers to prevent spills while driving and to make unloading neater.
- Bring the right gear for lifting and handling: gloves, sturdy shoes, and straps or ramps if using a trailer; tight spaces and high bins are normal.
