Cardboard must be flattened, placed separately and stacked together.

Lumberton also provides a satellite collection center for recyclables located at the Public Works Yard, 34 Municipal Drive. The Yard is open Monday through Friday from 7:00am till 11:00 am and on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 7:30am till 1:30pm. Anyone caught dumping things other than recyclables will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When using this facility please ensure that the recyclables you are dropping off go in the correct areas. In addition, please flatten all cardboard boxes you are dropping off. This will ensure that the containers will be filled to their capacity and will also keep the area neat.
