Republic Services of North Carolina, Boone

Republic Services of North Carolina in Boone is the local spot for dropping community trash and bulky loads. Located on Brook Hollow Road near the outskirts of town, it’s used by homeowners, landscapers and small haulers who need to get rid of household and construction debris.

There’s an entrance booth and a large weigh scale right near the driveway, so vehicles pull up, get weighed, then move on to the appropriate drop area. The site looks like a typical transfer/disposal yard with piles, roll-off containers and drive-up bays; expect gravel and heavy equipment noise. Residential cars and small trailers mix with pickup trucks and larger trucks, so take care when backing or passing. Because North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous materials, those items are handled differently than regular trash.
