Stokes County Dumpster Site

Small county dump out on N Old 52 Road that locals from Pinnacle and surrounding areas use for household cleanouts and yard debris. It feels like a working, rural site rather than a tidy recycling center. Expect mostly local traffic and pickup trucks and trailers lining up on busy days.

Drive in off the two-lane road and follow the gravel entrance toward a small gate or booth where vehicles pause to show ID or get directed. The site is open, with large drop-off containers and compactors spread across a leveled lot; some piles are sectioned off for different types of material. Pull up to the appropriate container or platform, unload onto the pile, and then head back to the exit area - there’s usually a clear route for trucks to move through without reversing too far. Because North Carolina has special rules for electronics and hazardous items, don’t assume those will be handled here without checking first.
