The Town of Waynesville will not pick up electronics at the curb with your regular household trash or your standard junk/bulk waste collection.
Because North Carolina state law completely bans electronics like televisions, computers, laptops, and printers from landfills, the town's sanitation crews are legally prohibited from throwing them into garbage trucks. If you place e-waste at the curb, workers will leave it behind, and you may face a citation.
🚗 Where to Go Instead (Free for Residents)
Since you cannot use curbside pickup, your best option is to load them into your vehicle and drive them to the closest county drop-off site:
- Haywood County Materials Recovery Facility (MRF): Located just outside Waynesville at 278 Access Rd, Clyde, NC. This is the primary county hub equipped to handle residential e-waste recycling safely and legally.
- Jones Cove Convenience Center: Located nearby at 296 Jones Cove Rd, Waynesville, NC. They accept standard residential household waste and can direct you on small electronic drops.
