(919) 876-1877

Wall Recycling Raleigh is a local recycling center near Gresham Lake Road that people drop off everything from cardboard and scrap metal to bottles and mixed paper. Neighbors, small-scale DIYers and folks doing home cleanouts use it to keep stuff out of the landfill. The place feels like a working yard more than a polished retail location.

Drive up the entrance road and there’s a small check-in or scale booth where vehicles slow down to talk or weigh in; larger trucks and trailers are common on site. Piles of baled cardboard, rows of bins and open-top containers are spread across a concrete and gravel yard, with forklifts and loaders moving things around in the background. Materials are usually separated by type-paper, glass, metal, plastics-and electronics or hazardous items are handled differently because North Carolina has specific rules for those. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so there can be a short line to pull up to the booth or to access certain containers.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials in the truck or car before getting to the gate-separated bundles or boxes save time and cut down on fumbling at the drop-off.
  • Keep electronics and anything that might be hazardous in a distinct bag or box; they often need to be unloaded in a separate area due to state rules.
  • Bring ropes or straps for loose items in a pickup bed and be prepared for a short wait on weekend mornings or during neighborhood cleanups.
