(919) 856-7400A small convenience center off Wendell Boulevard used by local residents for curbside-type drop-offs. It looks like a neighborhood public drop point rather than a big transfer station, and people from Wendell and nearby towns swing by for household clear-outs and yard waste.

Recycling bins are usually grouped together a short walk from the booth and the trash/yard waste containers sit on the main pad; lanes can be tight for larger trucks. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, often have a line of cars and pickup trucks waiting; watch for backing vehicles and commercial haulers sharing the space. North Carolina has specific rules for electronics and hazardous items, so those materials are handled differently than regular household trash.
