(919) 856-7400Wake County Convenience Center Site 6 in Wake Forest is a smaller drop-off spot used by local residents for household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. It feels like a neighborhood site - not a big transfer station - so most people swing through with pickup trucks, trailers, or car loads.
The site is laid out with a small entrance and a booth area where vehicles slow down before pulling into lanes. Expect open-top containers and roll-offs on a concrete pad, with signs marking different piles; bring something to help lift or toss items if needed. Lines form on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a wait; traffic moves in a drive-up, drop-off pattern. Vehicles pull up to the appropriate container, unload directly from the truck or trailer, and then exit the same way they came in.
