Small county convenience site just off NC-55 that locals in Durham use for household trash, recycling, and yard debris. Mostly residential folks drop by on weekends or during yardwork runs. Easy to recognize from the road but not a big commercial transfer station.

Pull in from NC-55 and follow the paved drive toward a small entrance booth and unloading area; many of these sites have a scale nearby and collection bays beyond the booth. The site looks functional more than tidy-concrete pads, metal containers, and piles for yard material are common. Recycling bins are usually grouped to one side, with bulk trash and yard waste in separate sections. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring clean-up, so expect occasional wait times.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already sorted into separate loads (recycling, yard waste, household trash); it makes unloading quicker and keeps traffic moving.
  • Have straps or covers for loose debris in the truck bed-wind can make a mess on the way home and staff usually prefer covered loads.
  • If a line is forming, consider a weekday trip or mid-afternoon run to avoid the busiest windows when neighbors are doing weekend clean-ups.
