Orange County Solid Waste Convenience Center

A county solid waste drop-off on Ferguson Road used by Chapel Hill residents hauling yard waste, recyclables, or household trash. Locals swing by with truck beds, trailers, or car loads rather than commercial haulers. The site feels like a practical place to unload rather than a fancy recycling center.

Pull in to an entrance with an attendant booth where staff will check vehicles before directing traffic. Drive up, let them note the load, then follow signs or staff directions to the appropriate drop-off lanes for trash, recycling, or yard debris. The property is open-air with piles or containers for different materials and space for trucks to back up; expect engines idling and trucks maneuvering. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have longer lines, so plan for a short wait.
