A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Weekly refuse and every other week recycling

Accepted with preparation

The city collects refuse every week and recycling every other week for almost fourteen thousand households, using both side loading and rear loading trucks, and the division runs the residential service from Clingman Street.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a residential collection rate, so confirm the monthly amount with the Solid Waste Division at 919-734-8674 or the city contact line at 919-580-4362.
When & how
Put the refuse out on the weekly collection day and the recycling out on its every other week day, following the city solid waste calendar for the address's collection zone.
Get it ready
Keep the refuse cart and the recycling cart to their own streams, because the city collects refuse weekly and recycling every other week with different trucks, and keep anything the city does not collect out of both carts rather than setting it out with the refuse.

Free Wednesday bulk item pickup

Accepted with preparation

The city provides a bulk item pickup at no additional cost to residential customers every Wednesday, booked by telephone with the Public Works Department, and the page names couches, book cases, tables, mattresses and appliances.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Goldsboro handles the light end of the job: refuse every week and recycling every other week from almost fourteen thousand households, a bulk item pickup at no additional cost every Wednesday that a resident books with the Public Works Department and keeps to six items, and a residential leaf and limb collection for single family homes with a four cubic yard limit and a three inch by four foot limit on limbs. Everything else is a Wayne County haul. The Wayne County Landfill at 460 B S Landfill Road in Dudley is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Sunday, and it is the only place in the county that takes tires and the only place that takes construction debris, which is charged a tipping fee and cannot be mixed with other waste. Metal and white goods cross at no charge when they are separated from all other waste, the doors come off a freezer or refrigerator, and the same scrap metal can go to the Grantham, Mitchell Road, Patetown, Pikeville, Rosewood, Seven Springs and Thirteen convenience centers, open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., although the centers refuse contractor and commercial waste, box trucks, trailers longer than ten feet and heaping loads.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation.

Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

Where does scrap metal go in Goldsboro?
