Solid Waste Facility

Wayne County Solid Waste

762 W Main St, Fremont, NC 27830

(919) 242-2181

A practical spot in Fremont for dropping off household trash, recycling and yard debris. Locals and small haulers use it-it's the kind of place people swing by when cleaning out a garage or hauling brush from the yard.

There's a small entrance booth and a drive-up layout where trucks and trailers pull up to unload. You'll see piles or bins for different materials and a scale near the entrance; county sites often charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site is open-air and fairly utilitarian-gravel or paved lanes, traffic cones, and equipment around the edges. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up with a line of pickups and trailers waiting to get in.

Before You Go

  • Load things so heavier items are easy to get out first; having materials staged in the truck makes unloading quicker.
  • Bring a tarp or straps to keep loose debris contained in transit-loose leaves and sticks blow everywhere on windy days.
  • Sort recyclables and yard waste before pulling up so it’s clear where each pile should go; that saves time when there’s a line.
