(919) 968-2788Solid Waste Convenience Center in Hillsborough is the local spot for dropping off household trash, yard debris, and common recyclables. Neighbors and small haulers use it for routine cleanouts and yard work overflow. It's the kind of place that gets busy on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups.
Expect a fenced lot with several concrete pads and large roll-off containers; vehicles pull up to specific drop-off points rather than a curbside collection setup. There's typically an entrance area with a booth or gate where attendants direct traffic and point to the right pile or container. Loads are usually sorted by material type at different locations around the site, so be prepared to move between spots if carrying multiple kinds of material. Vehicles can be weighed at some county centers, so bring loose items easy to unload and secure any tarps before leaving.
