Siler City Chatam County Transfer Station

Siler City Chatham County Transfer Station handles household and small commercial drop-offs for people who don’t want to drive all the way to a landfill. Locals swing by with trailers, pickup loads, or car trunks full of junk during cleanup weekends. It’s the sort of place neighbors mention when someone asks where to dump bulky stuff nearby.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up area where vehicles pull up to be checked and usually weighed - transfer stations commonly charge by weight, so expect to stop twice, once in and once out. The yard is practical and a bit rough: compactors, big containers, and trucks moving loads around, so keep a safe distance. Recycling bins and drop-off points are typically off to one side rather than mixed in with the open piles. Lines pile up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait if arriving then.
