A plan for your pile

Finishing the project should include clearing the debris.

Mixed renovation material is hard to describe as one item. A photo-led quote gives you a specific plan for the pile left behind.

A quote based on what is actually there.

Send a photo of the whole pile and a close-up of the material. Include its approximate size, your ZIP code and a view of the access.

Mixed or heavy project debris.

Request a quote for the actual materials and quantity. A generic debris-pile price cannot establish the scope of your project.

Already in contractor bags?

The separate contractor-bag item can cover carryable bags of debris at 50 lb or less each, with no dirt or gravel. Describe uncertain contents to our team before choosing it.

Unknown or hazardous material.

Flag unknown contents, chemicals and suspected hazardous materials in your request. A photo request is not acceptance of every material, and this service does not promise remediation or demolition.

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

The city publishes no curbside route for renovation material, and its weekly routes cover household garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky household items. Catawba County takes the load at the construction and demolition side of the Blackburn Landfill on Rocky Ford Road, where separated asphalt, brick, block and concrete are free only when they are clean and unpainted.

City cost & eligibility
No city rate exists for renovation material because there is no city route. The county prices the load by weight at the landfill, and the adopted schedule puts bulky items that are not easily compacted into the higher other-waste class, so confirm the material, the tonnage and the price with the landfill at (704) 462-1348 before hauling.
When & how
The landfill at 4017 Rocky Ford Road in Newton is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and the fee schedule prints a weekday opening as early as 7 a.m., so confirm the gate time before a load leaves.
Get it ready
Separate clean, unpainted brick, block, concrete and asphalt from mixed debris, because the separated clean material is free while a mixed or reinforced load is charged by weight. Keep renovation debris out of the curb set-out and away from the yard waste pile, since contractor work and mixed piles can trigger additional charges.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulky items wait at the curb with clearance around the rollouts

Bulky items are placed at the curb and the city asks that they sit where proper clearance is kept around the rollout containers and the yard waste, so crews can reach each pile. Keep a furniture pile separate from appliances, screens, tires and renovation material, and keep the pile off any storm drain or sidewalk. The bulky collection runs on the same day as the regular garbage run, in a separate pass.

Bag or can the yard waste and keep it out of the street

Small trimmings and grass go into heavy duty clear plastic bags or a 32-gallon container marked yard waste with the lid off, and major limbs are cut into pieces less than 6 feet long and no thicker than 6 inches. The pile sits in the open, not under power lines, against a parked car or over a storm drain, and never in the street. Piles larger than 2 cubic yards, stumps, trunks and anything a contractor generates are separated and reported, because they can carry additional charges or go uncollected.

City of Hickory Public Services Sanitation Division, with Catawba County Solid Waste and Republic Services

Haul renovation material to the county landfill

A household or contractor with construction, demolition or heavy material that the city curbside routes do not take.

Cost & conditions
The landfill prices a load by weight and the schedule classes bulky material that will not compact easily at a higher rate, so confirm the material and the amount with the landfill at (704) 462-1348 before hauling. Separated clean asphalt, brick, block and concrete are listed as no charge.
Arrange it
Take the load to the Blackburn Landfill at 4017 Rocky Ford Road in Newton during its published hours, and separate the clean recoverable material from the mixed debris before you arrive.

Safety vests are required on site, an uncovered or unsecured load is charged, and a load that arrives mixed or with banned material can be refused or charged at a higher class.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling a Hickory load means driving west to Newton. The Blackburn Landfill at 4017 Rocky Ford Road takes municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, wood and yard material, tires and separated clean asphalt, brick, block and concrete, and it runs free residential drop-offs for electronics, televisions, paint and household batteries; a safety vest is required on site and each load is weighed. The staffed convenience centers are the cheaper stop for a mattress, a chair or a bagged load, and the Blackburn site at 3864 Rocky Ford Road, just down the road from the landfill, is also the one that takes appliances and scrap metal. Every one of these stops prices by weight or by the load, so call the landfill at (704) 462-1348 or Republic Services at (828) 256-2158 before a trip if the amount matters. Hickory's own drop-offs are smaller: the recycling convenience center on 9th Ave NE beside Fire Station #2 and the solid waste transfer station at 1050 1st Ave SW both take recyclables, and the transfer station also takes used motor oil and antifreeze.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Hickory.

Can I book a mixed debris pile online at one price?

Request a custom quote instead. Send photos of the materials, approximate pile dimensions, your ZIP code and access details. The team confirms the work and price before you commit.

What if my debris is already in contractor bags?

Each carryable contractor bag at 50 lb or less, containing no dirt or gravel, has its own catalog option. Do not use a bag count for an unbagged pile or unknown material. Text a photo if you are unsure.

Does pickup include demolition or removing installed materials?

No demolition or disconnection work is automatically included. Describe the current state and access in your quote request so the team can confirm the work it can arrange.

How much does construction debris removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

Can the city take renovation debris from a curb set-out?

There is no published city curbside route for construction and renovation material, and contractor-generated material is excluded from the yard waste collection. The county landfill on Rocky Ford Road takes the load and prices it by weight, with clean unpainted brick, block, concrete and asphalt free when they are separated, so confirm the load with the landfill at (704) 462-1348.Official guidance

Who handles what inside Hickory and what does the county take?

The City of Hickory Public Services Sanitation Division serves waste generators inside the city limits, running garbage, recycling, yard waste and the bulky pass. Catawba County runs the Blackburn Landfill, the five staffed convenience centers and the county curbside franchise through Republic Services, and those county sites are where renovation material, scrap metal, tires, appliances and electronics go when the city route does not cover them.Official guidance

Where does renovation debris go if the city will not take it?

To the county landfill at 4017 Rocky Ford Road in Newton, which is permitted for construction and demolition waste and prices each load by weight. Separated clean asphalt, brick, block and concrete are listed as no charge, while mixed or bulky material that will not compact easily falls into a higher class, so confirm the load with the landfill at (704) 462-1348 and wear a safety vest on site.Official guidance
