Post Date:06/18/2025 12:00 PM

Durham, N.C. – All Durham County Solid Waste Convenience Sites will be closed to the public on Friday, June 27, 2025, for a staff training day. During the closure, operations at all convenience sites will be suspended, and residents of unincorporated Durham County with a solid waste decal will not have access to the facilities or disposal services.

The convenience site locations include:

Parkwood Convenience Site – 5928 Highway 55
Northern Convenience Site – 11894 N. Roxboro Road

Residents are reminded that the Redwood Convenience Site at 100 Electra Road is closed to the public until Monday, July 7, due to tree removal, road construction, and preparations for the construction of the Durham County Sheriff’s Office Training Facility.

Following the one-day closure for staff training, both sites will reopen at 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 28. Residents with a current 2024-2025 solid waste decal may resume disposing of garbage, recycling, and yard waste following each site’s regular schedule.
