(252) 331-2922Pasquotank County Solid Waste in Elizabeth City is the county's general drop-off for household trash, yard debris and common recycling. Neighbors and small haulers use it when regular curbside pickup won’t cover a load or for spring-cleaning runs.
The property looks like a typical county facility - a simple entrance with a small booth and open tipping areas beyond. Pull up to the booth first and be ready to direct the attendant to what’s in the truck; many similar sites have a scale you cross in and out of, so expect to stop more than once. Recycling bins are often grouped to one side and piles of yard waste or bulky items sit in separate piles farther back. Weekends, especially in nicer weather, get busy and there’s usually a steady stream of pickups and trailers moving through.
