Wake County Convenience Center Site #2

Small neighborhood convenience center in Apex where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Located on Old Smithfield Road, it’s the kind of place people swing by for quick cleanups rather than full-scale hauling. Expect a no-frills setup used mostly by nearby homeowners.

A modest lot with separate roll-off containers and a small entrance booth sitting near the drive lane; drivers pull up, sort their load, and toss items into the labeled containers. The site feels compact compared with larger transfer stations, so backing up a trailer is possible but requires careful positioning. Weekends and spring-cleaning times can lead to lines, so there may be a bit of wait during busy periods. Keep loads sorted and ready to lift-bins are metal and some are deep, so bring help for heavy items.
