Convenience Center

Wake County Convenience Center Site 10

5216 Knightdale-Eagle Rock Rd, Knightdale, NC 27545

(919) 856-7400

A small convenience center in Knightdale where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Mostly used by people hauling stuff from their yards or cleaning out the garage, not for commercial loads.

Drive up to a modest paved lot with a small entrance booth and several large containers out in the open. Recycle bins and yard-waste containers are usually grouped together to the right of the booth, with general trash dumpsters a bit further in. Pull up slowly and be ready to unload from the passenger side if the container is against the curb; lanes can get tight when a few trucks are backed up. Weekends, especially in spring, tend to be busier and there can be a short line to get in.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and yard debris in the truck before getting to the site to speed unloading and avoid extra juggling at the bins.
  • Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for bulky items so nothing slips while lifting onto a dumpster rim.
  • Remember that electronics and household hazardous materials often need a separate drop-off in North Carolina, so plan for a different location if returning paint, batteries, or old TVs.
