Wilders Grove Solid Waste Services Facility
630 Beacon Lake Dr, Raleigh, NC 27610
(919) 996-6890Wilders Grove Solid Waste Services Facility on Beacon Lake Drive is the Raleigh spot people use when clearing out the garage or dropping off yard debris. Neighbors and small haulers swing in for household trash, recyclables and brush. The place looks like a working yard - roll-off containers, a small entrance building, and lots of pavement.
Drive up to a single entrance where there’s usually a booth or scale house; pull up and wait to be waved through to the right drop-off area. Recycling, yard waste and general trash tend to be separated into different containers or piles, so expect to move between a few spots during unloading. Weekends and spring cleanup season can get busy and slow, with a line of trucks and trailers. The lot is industrial-feeling - dusty at times, with concrete pads and heavy equipment moving around - so keep a safe distance from large vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into piles (recyclables, brush/yard waste, general trash) so unloading goes fast and clean.
- Secure loose loads with tarps and straps to prevent debris from blowing out while waiting in line or driving on site.
- Avoid peak times if possible - early weekdays are usually quieter than weekend afternoons during cleanup season.
