Convenience Sites are for residential waste only.  All users of the Sites must display a current Solid Waste Decal.  All other users will be turned away. 

Please note the following changes in Operating Hours and Policies response to Covid 19:

Durham County Convenience Sites will not accept any bulky loads.  This includes furniture, construction debris, do-it-yourself project debris, large toys, etc.  If you have material of this type, please review this list of potential outlets. 

All garbage or household waste must be bagged.  Unbagged trash will not be accepted.

We are suspending the sale of decals to City residents and out of County residents.  This is in an effort to preserve dumpster space for unincorporated residents who do not have access to curbside pick up.  If you are an unincorporated resident that needs to purchase a decal, please call the Tax Office at 919-560-0300.
