Wayne County Solid Waste at 766 Hinnant Rd in Pikeville is the county drop-off for household trash, yard debris and recycling. Locals and small haulers use it; don’t expect anything fancy, just a working dump site that gets the job done.
Drive in from Hinnant Road and pull up to the unloading area - there’s room for pickups and small trailers but larger trucks move through too. Materials are generally separated into different piles or containers, so having things sorted ahead of time speeds things up. The site looks like a typical county solid waste yard: gravel, dump piles, and a few lanes for moving vehicles. Busy times are common on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads (branches, bags, tarps) so nothing blows out on the road while driving in or out.
- Have recyclables and yard waste separated from regular trash before getting to the drop-off point to shorten the stop.
- Avoid weekend mornings during the spring cleanup rush if a quicker trip is wanted; midweek or later afternoons are often quieter.
