What to plan around in Buies Creek.
Buies Creek moves often run on the Campbell University calendar. Here’s what to plan around.
Book early around semester changes
If your lease follows the school year, pick your moving date as soon as your lease dates are set, and tell us if you need a morning or afternoon window.
Double-check the mailing address
Some addresses around campus use a Lillington mailing address, such as Campbell’s Creekside Apartments on Judge Taylor Rd. Give us the exact address and unit number so the crew goes to the right building.
Find out what’s already in the unit
Some units come partly furnished; Creekside Apartments, for example, include a bed and a couch. Ask your landlord what stays, so you only pay to move what’s yours.
Plan for trash and leftover furniture
Harnett County doesn’t offer curbside pickup, so check whether your landlord provides it. Furniture and mattresses go to the Dunn-Erwin or Anderson Creek landfills, or we can haul them away.

Living in Buies Creek, NC
Buies Creek is an unincorporated community in central Harnett County, a few miles east of the county seat in Lillington. It covers about three square miles and counted roughly 3,250 residents in the 2020 census. Many nearby homes carry a Lillington 27546 mailing address even though they sit next to the Buies Creek 27506 post office, so double check both when you fill out change of address forms.
Life here revolves around Campbell University, which was founded in 1887 and keeps its main campus in Buies Creek. The school brings a steady flow of students, faculty and staff, so the housing mix leans toward rentals, duplexes and newer townhomes near campus, with larger single family homes out toward the Keith Hills golf community. Move-in and move-out traffic spikes around the start and end of each semester.
Because Buies Creek has no town government, Harnett County handles most services. Water and sewer come from Harnett Regional Water, public schools are run by Harnett County Schools, and the main Harnett County Public Library is a short drive away in Lillington. The county does not run curbside trash pickup, so households either hire a private hauler or use county convenience centers. Raleigh is about 45 minutes north.

How much does a local move in Buies Creek cost?
Local moves are billed by the hour by crew size: $95 for a 1 man crew, $150 for 2, $175 for 3 and $200 for 4. Most local moves run $190 to $2,500. Final price depends on home size, distance and services.
Should I avoid Campbell move-in weekend when booking a crew?
If you can, yes. Campbell’s 2026 schedule fits new-student move-in into four hours on a Saturday and returning students into four hours on a Sunday, all at the residence halls. The published rules are written around cars and do not address moving trucks, so ask Residence Life before sending a crew to a hall, and book us at least 2 to 4 weeks ahead for a day outside those windows.
Where can I take trash, boxes and old furniture near Buies Creek?
Harnett County does not collect curbside garbage or recycling. The Buies Creek “Campbell” convenience center (117 Kivett Road) takes bagged trash and recyclables, but not furniture or mattresses; those go to the Dunn-Erwin or Anderson Creek county landfills. Call Harnett County Solid Waste, 910-814-6156, for hours and fees, and tell us the count when you book so we can plan a haul-away.
I’m a Campbell student. Can I move off campus?
Campbell requires most undergraduates to live on campus for three years, with some exceptions and an approval process. Check with Residence Life before you sign a lease off campus.
Can you move a small Buies Creek apartment?
Yes. Book a 1 or 2 man crew by the hour for a studio or small apartment, so you only pay for the help a smaller move needs.
Who picks up weekly trash at a Buies Creek home?
Harnett County does not offer curbside garbage or recycling collection, and Buies Creek has no town trash service. Residents either sign up with a private waste hauler or carry household trash and recyclables to a county convenience center. If you are renting, ask your landlord whether a hauler is already included before your first week in the new place.
How do I start water service in Buies Creek?
Water and sewer in Buies Creek come from Harnett Regional Water, based at 700 McKinney Parkway in Lillington. New customers fill out an application, provide a copy of their ID and pay a deposit. Customer service is 910-893-7575, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Starting the request a few days before your move gives the utility time to set up the account.
