Shelton Laurel Collection Center on NC-212 in Marshall is the local spot for residents to drop off household rubbish and recyclables. Neighbors from Marshall and the surrounding mountain communities use it for typical community disposal needs.
The site looks like a small, practical county collection point rather than a big landfill-drive-up lanes with places to pull alongside containers or concrete pads. There is usually an entrance point where vehicles pause before moving to the drop-off spots, and signage will point to different drop areas. Expect to be out of the vehicle for a few minutes while unloading, and plan for lines on busy weekends or during spring clean-up season. In North Carolina, electronics and hazardous items often have separate handling rules, so those loads can take a little more time or require different drop-off steps.
