Bulky items such as appliances and furniture are collected at no additional charge as part of your regular trash service, and by appointment only.  Call the Office of Solid Waste Management at 341-7875 to schedule an appointment.  Items should be placed in the right of way only after an appointment is made.  In fiscal year 2006-2007, 2,942 tons of bulky waste was collected from City customers.  Bulky items, yard waste and metal items must be placed neatly in seperate piles on the right of way for pick up.  Three different trucks service these items.

For the safety of our work crews, plase bend or remove nails from lumber.

Household waste which will not fit in a full trash cart is NOT a bulky item.  These extra items must be placed in a bag or box and have an extra trash sticker attached before they will be collected.  To purchase extra trash stickers, please call the Office of Solid Waste Management at 341-7875.

Due to State regulations, the City can no longer pick up tires.  Customers may carry up to 5 tires to the New Hanover County landfill for disposal at no charge.

Demolition materials from contracted work should not be put out for City collection.  Removal of these materials is the responsibility of the contractor.
