What it takes

It’s one of five Wake County convenience centers that take mattresses and construction debris. The North Wake Scrap Tire Facility and the South Wake Scrap Tire Facility take tires.

Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.

Wake County rules

  • The convenience centers are for Wake County residents only, with no business waste. If you bring construction debris or a mattress, or come in a vehicle with out-of-state plates or a business vehicle, you’ll fill out a Waste Verification Form first.
  • Coming in a box truck, a dual-axle trailer, or an enclosed trailer? Request a free Trash Pass before you go. Cars, SUVs, pickups, and single-axle trailers don’t need one.
  • Furniture and other bulky trash must be under 8 feet long or wide. Bigger things, like boat hulls and hot tubs, go to the South Wake Landfill, which charges its tipping fees.
  • Secure any open truck bed or trailer so nothing blows out or spills. Taking things out of the containers isn’t allowed.
