Solid Waste Facility
Onslow County Solid Waste
415 Meadowview Rd, Jacksonville, NC 28540
(910) 989-2107A county solid waste drop-off for Jacksonville residents and folks from nearby areas. The site handles general household trash, recycling and yard debris in a typical county setup, so expect a working, industrial sort of place rather than a tidy retail lot.
Drive up Meadowview Road and look for the entrance with an attended booth and a small traffic flow for trucks and trailers. There’s a visible scale and a concrete tipping area; vehicles usually stop at the booth first, then move to the scale and unloading spots. Recycling bins and yard waste piles sit off to the side, while larger trucks maneuver around the central drop area. Weekends get busy-lines and waiting are common during spring cleanup and after storms.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials before pulling into the lot so unloading is quicker: separate recyclables, brush/yard debris, and general trash into different areas of the truck or trailer.
- Cover and secure loads for the drive in to prevent blown debris; that keeps traffic moving and avoids loose trash on the scale or road.
- Remember North Carolina has special rules for electronics and hazardous household items, so keep those items separated and plan to handle them differently than regular trash.
