Solid Waste Facility

Wilson County Solid Waste

2400 NC-42 East, Wilson, NC 27893

(252) 399-2823

Small county solid waste site just off NC-42 that locals use for household trash, yard debris, and the usual recycling drop-offs. Neighbors, landscapers, and folks clearing out garages turn up here when they need to get rid of bulk or regular waste. It sits on a fairly open lot with easy road access from town.

There’s a gatehouse/entrance booth and a vehicle scale, so plan for a short stop at the front and another on the way out. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs or staff direction to the different drop-off piles and containers. The layout is basic - paved drives, large open bays or piles for different materials, and recycling containers grouped together. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines and some wait time are normal.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs so nothing blows out while driving through the site.
  • Sort recyclables and yard waste from regular trash beforehand to move faster at the drop points.
  • Try to avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup season if a quicker trip is wanted.
