Who can use it
The landfill accepts construction and demolition debris, commercial and residential yard waste, and business and residential waste on weekdays. On Saturday, only residential customers may bring household trash, small loads of C&D debris from their residence, and yard waste. Customers with a valid User Permit should also see the Convenience Centers: Solid Waste District rules for items covered by the permit. The 13 convenience centers accept only household solid waste produced by residents of the Wilson County Solid Waste District with a valid User Permit; incorporated towns and cities are not included in the District, and commercial and industrial solid waste is not accepted at the convenience centers. A banner on the Solid Waste Services page said that some 2027 permits were not included in the property tax bill, and that households that did not receive 2027 permit stickers should continue to use 2026 permit stickers. The convenience-centers page still described the current pink district permit as issued January 1, 2023, and valid until December 31, 2025. Those official statements conflict; confirm which sticker is accepted before you go.
Hours
- Landfill: Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, residential customers only, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
- The official landfill page locates the site east of the City of Wilson at 2400 Hwy 42 E. The Solid Waste Services page lists the physical address as 2400 NC Hwy 42 East, Wilson, NC 27893, and a GPS address of 2400 Bullard Court, Wilson, NC 27893. A contact block on the same pages also lists 2201 Miller Road South, Wilson, NC 27893.
- Convenience centers: Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Effective August 1, 2019, the Rock Ridge, Stantonsburg, and Gardners convenience centers are closed on Wednesdays. Official addresses for the 13 sites are in the county locations PDF, which is linked from the Center Locations page.
Sticker or permit
Required: Yes
Price: District Permit: each district household is charged $45 per year, listed as a Solid Waste Availability Fee (SWAF) on the property owner's tax bill. Each district household is entitled to two permits free of charge within a 3-year period. Additional permits may be purchased at the Solid Waste Services Office for $45. Temporary Permit: $65, for non-district residents, renews annually. Orange, green, yellow, and blue permits are no longer valid. Confirm current sticker color and year before you go, because the official 2023-2025 pink-permit sentence and the 2026/2027 sticker notice conflict.
Where to buy: Solid Waste Services Office, (252) 399-2823, for additional or temporary permits. Director Andy Davis is listed at that number. Office hours on the Solid Waste Services page are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Notes: The landfill accepts cash, check, or credit cards, with no American Express.
