Nash County Solid Waste Program
3057 Duke Rd, Castalia, NC 27816
(252) 459-9899Nash County Solid Waste Program in Castalia is the county run spot folks use for household trash, yard debris, and the usual recycling drop-offs. Neighbors from around the area haul pickups and trailers here when clearing out the yard or swapping out appliances.
The site looks like a typical county landfill transfer area - big open lots, rows of roll-off containers, and places to pull up close to unload. There’s usually an entrance booth and a lane to drive up so staff can direct where to dump, and expect to see trucks and trailers moving around. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to get busy, so queues at the entrance and longer wait times are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep things sorted in the vehicle (wood/brush separate from bagged trash) so unloading is faster and less awkward.
- Use tarps and tie-downs on trailers; gravel drives and wind can make loose debris a mess and slow the process.
- Back trailers up to the unloading area if possible - it saves time and makes it easier to pitch out yard waste or bulky items.
