Drop off trash, recycling and bulky items at a Wake County convenience center

Provided by: Wake County Solid Waste Management (Wake County)

Wake County runs 11 convenience centers where county residents, including Raleigh residents, can drop off their own trash, recycling, cardboard, scrap metal and more, every day of the week.

Ways to do it

• Wake County convenience centers (sites and accepted items): https://www.wake.gov/departments-government/waste-recycling/facilities/convenience-centers
• Wake County Solid Waste: call 919-856-7400

Good to know

• Open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., closed on major holidays.
• Raleigh-area sites include 10505 Old Stage Road, 3600 Yates Mill Pond Road, 8401 Battle Bridge Road and 9024 Deponie Drive.
• Only some sites take mattresses (two per day), food waste, electronics (weekends) or household construction debris. Check the list before you go.
• Appliances and motor oil go to multi-material drop-off facilities; paint, chemicals and batteries go to household hazardous waste facilities.
• Box trucks, dual-axle and enclosed trailers need a free Trash Pass first.
