(828) 465-4635A small convenience center in Newton where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Neighbors use it for quick trips rather than big commercial hauls and it feels like a compact, practical spot rather than a full-scale transfer station.
A single entrance road leads to a modest loop with a small attendant booth near the drive-in area; vehicles pull up, unload into open-top containers or roll-off bins, then exit the same way. Recycling containers are usually grouped together to one side and yard waste often has its own pile or container; expect a simple, no-frills layout with signs marking the different containers. There’s not a huge lot of room, so trailers and larger trucks need to maneuver carefully; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lineups. North Carolina requires special handling for electronics and household hazardous products, so those items aren’t treated the same as regular trash at centers like this.
