Dump hours and locations
Haywood County runs 10 convenience centers, plus the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Clyde and White Oak Landfill (WOLF) off I-40 at mile marker 15. All are staffed, not self-serve.
Convenience centers: free for county residents — household bagged trash and loose recycling only. Staffed hours run 7:00 AM–5:00 PM, but exact days vary center to center — check the county’s convenience center locator for the one nearest you before you drive over, especially around holidays.
MRF and WOLF: take more (bulky items, commercial loads, brush) but charge fees based on weight for commercial or out-of-county material — see what the landfill takes for what’s accepted where.
What to expect: convenience centers take county-resident household waste only — construction debris, commercial loads, brush, and anything from outside Haywood County get turned away; those go to the MRF or WOLF instead.

Convenience centers are staffed 7:00 AM–5:00 PM; exact days vary by center (confirmed example: 110 Convenience Center is open Mon–Sat, closed Sun; Beaverdam Convenience Center is closed Thursdays). Confirm a specific center's schedule before a trip.
The program runs 10 collection "convenience" centers plus the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and White Oak Landfill (WOLF), operated through two public-private partnerships (Consolidated Waste Services runs the centers/MRF; Republic Services runs WOLF). No single street address represents the department — individual center addresses/hours are listed one-by-one on the county's Facilities directory (see sources). Did not find a directly fetchable page listing all 10 addresses in one place; flagging as a gap rather than guessing.
