Waste Facility
US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Piney Green Road, Camp Lejeune, 28547, North Carolina
US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune waste facility is the on-base drop-off point for people with base access and nearby residents who use base services. Located on Piney Green Road inside the base, locals go there for household and community disposal needs. Because state environmental agencies regulate these sites, fees and accepted materials can vary from other North Carolina locations.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a vehicle scale near the access lane, so expect to pause before getting to the disposal pads. Pull into the marked lanes for cars or trucks and leave room for backing up to large roll-off containers and compactors. The place looks utilitarian - lots of metal bins, concrete or gravel pads, and traffic signs; tarps and gloves come in handy. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to get backed up, so lines are common then.

Before You Go
- Have base ID or proof of eligibility ready at the gate; this is on Marine Corps property and checkpoints are possible.
- Load and cover loose items ahead of time so unloading is quicker and less messy for everyone.
- Separate bulky items from small trash in the vehicle for faster drop-off, and try a weekday morning if avoiding crowds is a priority.
