Caldwell County convenience centers and dump hours
Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers nine convenience centers and the Foothills Environmental Landfill. The Foothills Environmental Landfill is run by Republic Services, not the county. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.
Convenience centers
- Caldwell County’s nine convenience sites take household garbage, old furniture, mattresses, appliances without Freon, TVs, and recycling from county residents. No business or out-of-county waste, pallets, tires, or yard waste; big trailer loads may be turned away when the bins are nearly full.
