City collection Furniture and bulky household items go to the curb or roadside with the ordinary collection day, with no item charge published for the furniture itself. No charge. Bulky furniture rides the residential collection service a household already pays for through the monthly rollout charge, and the fee schedule instead prices white goods per appliance and used tires per tire. A pickup outside the ordinary collection is billed by the hour plus the tipping fee, so confirm the scope with Public Services at 336-243-2489 when the load is unusual.

White goods are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina, so the county landfill cannot take one as ordinary trash.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Lexington collects its own garbage, recycling and yard waste with city-owned rollout containers, puts furniture and bulky items out with the ordinary collection day, and charges per item for the material that needs special handling: white goods at a published per appliance rate and tires off the rim at a published per tire rate. Construction debris, carpet and yard waste never go in the green container, and a load mixed with them draws a violation notice. Disposal runs through Davidson County, whose Residential Landfill on Landfill Road in Lexington takes household waste, inert debris, electronics and mattresses for published fees, runs Household Hazardous Waste Day on the first Saturday of every month, and enforces the North Carolina bans that keep white goods, whole tires, wooden pallets and yard trash out of the ground.
Furniture and bulky household items go to the curb or roadside with the ordinary collection day, with no item charge published for the furniture itself.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky furniture rides the residential collection service a household already pays for through the monthly rollout charge, and the fee schedule instead prices white goods per appliance and used tires per tire. A pickup outside the ordinary collection is billed by the hour plus the tipping fee, so confirm the scope with Public Services at 336-243-2489 when the load is unusual.
When & how
Place bulky items at the curb or roadside no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of the normal garbage collection, and bring nothing out earlier than the day before the assigned collection.
Get it ready
Keep the load to household furniture and similar items, because mixed piles of garbage, trash and brush are not collected, and construction debris and carpet draw a violation notice. Keep bulky items clear of the rollout containers so the automated arm still has room.
Appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, washers and dryers are collected by the city and billed per appliance.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per appliance collected by the Recycling and Waste Collection department. Charged to the city collection account when the department collects the appliance, with the fee set by City Council in the city fee schedule. White goods are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina, so the county landfill cannot take one as ordinary trash.
When & how
Set the appliance out with the household bulk load and confirm the collection with Public Services at 336-243-2489, because the per appliance charge applies when the department takes it.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure or remove the doors, and keep it out of the green rollout container, which takes bagged household trash only. Report a refrigerant appliance as such when you call so the pickup is arranged correctly.
An air conditioner is not named on the city appliance list, so the unit is confirmed with the department as a white good before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city bills white goods per appliance when it collects them, but the published example list names stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, washers and dryers rather than air conditioners. Call Public Services at 336-243-2489 to confirm that the unit is collected as a white good at that per item rate and to ask whether the refrigerant has to be recovered first.
When & how
Confirm the unit with Public Services at 336-243-2489 before setting it out, then follow the collection instructions for an appliance rather than the household trash day.
Get it ready
Do not put a cooling unit in the green rollout or in a load of household furniture, because white goods are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina and the appliance has to be handled as its own item.
The city runs an electronics recycling programme with a published accepted item list, and the county landfill also takes televisions and computers per item.
City cost & eligibility
The city electronics programme publishes no charge and asks large loads and unusual items to be arranged through the office at 336-243-2489, while the Davidson County landfill charges 8 dollars per item for e-waste such as televisions and computers. Confirm which route fits the load before you move it.
When & how
Call the Recycling and Waste Collection office at 336-243-2489 to arrange the electronics drop off, or take the devices to the Davidson County Residential Landfill on 600 Davidson County Landfill Road during its open hours.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house, keep batteries, light bulbs, glass and chemicals out of the device load, and bring small quantities together rather than mixing electronics with household trash, because discarded computers and televisions are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina.
Construction debris of any kind is refused by the city collection trucks and goes to the county landfill or a private hauler.
City cost & eligibility
From $8 per vehicle or trailer load at the Davidson County landfill, with inert debris at 8 dollars per ton and municipal solid waste at 36 dollars per ton. Davidson County waste only, with the minimum charge applying to a passenger vehicle or trailer load and larger loads paying the tonnage rate. The city also bills a special pickup by the hour plus the tipping fee if its crew has to handle a load that was never set out as ordinary household material.
When & how
Haul the material to the Davidson County Residential Landfill on 600 Davidson County Landfill Road, or arrange a private hauler. Large loads need to be on site by 3:30 p.m. on a weekday and 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris and carpet out of the green rollout, because the driver leaves a violation notice and the container is not emptied when it contains them. Separate inert material such as concrete, brick or rock from trash so it is charged at the lower inert rate, and keep treated or painted material with the construction load rather than the household trash.
Yard waste goes in the brown rollout on the regular collection day, and brush is collected separately under size and volume limits.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The brown yard waste rollout is the collection route, with the rollout itself the paid part of the service, and the city publishes no separate charge for grass, leaves or brush that meet the size rules. Ask Public Services at 336-243-2489 if you need a brown container or have an oversized brush load.
When & how
Yard waste is collected on the regular recycling and waste collection day unless a holiday week changes it, and brush goes to the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the assigned collection day.
Get it ready
Keep garbage, dirt, construction material, animal waste, bags and boxes out of the brown container, and keep five cubic yards as the rolling 30 day brush limit, laid out no larger than 8 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. Limbs must be under five feet long and 75 pounds, stacked with the cut ends facing one direction and clear of wires, vehicles and mailboxes, and stumps, logs, mixed loads and anything cut from a vacant lot are refused. Yard waste never goes in the green garbage rollout, because state law bans yard trash from landfill disposal.
The city collects tires with the rim off and charges per tire, and North Carolina bans whole scrap tires from landfill disposal.
City cost & eligibility
$10 per tire collected by the city, with the tire off the rim. Charged to the city collection account through the fee schedule, and the county landfill cannot take a whole scrap tire because North Carolina bans whole tires from landfill disposal. The county scale house on 336-242-2289 answers questions about a tire that is too large for one person to handle.
When & how
Set the tire out with the household bulk load, off the rim, and confirm the collection with Public Services at 336-243-2489.
Get it ready
Take the tire off the rim before it goes out, keep it away from the green rollout and the yard waste container, and leave oversized tires for a call to the scale house rather than adding them to a household pile.
Metal that is not an appliance has no published city collection, so the route is confirmed with the city or the county before the load moves.
City cost & eligibility
The city fee schedule prices white goods per appliance but publishes no scrap metal rate, and the county recycling centre acceptance list is published as an image rather than text. Call Public Services at 336-243-2489 about a city collection or the county scale house at 336-242-2289 about which county site takes the metal, and note that the landfill bans white goods and aluminum cans from disposal.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then use either the city collection arranged through Public Services at 336-243-2489 or a staffed county recycling centre during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the metal separated from household trash so it can be handled as its own load. Drain oil and fuel from anything motorised before it is moved, and keep refrigerant appliances apart because they are handled as white goods rather than as loose metal.
Wooden pallets are banned from landfill disposal in North Carolina, and the city publishes no pallet collection, so the route is confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
Nothing published gives a city or county price for pallets. The state ban allows a wooden pallet to be buried only when it is mixed into construction waste at a landfill permitted for construction and demolition debris, and the county asks readers to call 336-224-5376 or 336-242-2289 about banned items. Call Public Services at 336-243-2489 as well if a city collection is what you want.
When & how
Confirm the destination before stacking anything at the curb, because a pallet pile left out without an arrangement is a bulky load the city has not agreed to take.
Get it ready
Keep pallets dry and stacked flat so they can be lifted as one bundle, remove shrink wrap, strapping and any nails that stick out, and keep them separate from household garbage and construction debris until the destination is confirmed.
Household chemicals are not collected at the curb and go to the county Household Hazardous Waste Day on the first Saturday of each month.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Household Hazardous Waste Day takes paint, chemicals and similar material at no charge from Davidson County residents, with a limit of 18 gallon paint cans, and the same material is accepted during the week at 3RC in Winston-Salem. A passenger vehicle load of household hazardous waste is also included in the landfill minimum charge.
When & how
Take the material to the Residential Landfill on 600 Davidson County Landfill Road on the first Saturday of the month between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., or to 3RC at 1401 South Martin Luther King Junior Drive in Winston-Salem from Wednesday to Saturday between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep paint, chemicals and batteries out of every rollout container and out of the bulky pile, keep products in their original containers, and pack them upright for the drive. The paint can limit is 18 gallons, so plan a second trip rather than arriving over the limit.
Rollout containers go out no earlier than the day before the assigned collection and no later than 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, and every container comes back to the residence by midnight that night. Collection runs between 6:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., so a container still out after 4:30 p.m. is reported to Public Services Administration at 336-243-2489 as a missed pickup.
Bagged trash only, lid closed, three feet of clearance
Only bagged household trash belongs in the green rollout, the lid has to close, and the handles face the residence rather than the street. Containers need at least three feet from vehicles, poles, other containers and brush piles, and the city owns each numbered rollout so it stays with the address when a household moves.
Construction debris of any kind and carpeting are refused, and a container holding them is not emptied, with the driver leaving a violation notification that explains the refusal. Yard waste in the garbage rollout is refused as well, because state law bans yard trash from landfill disposal, and a load mixed with garbage, trash or brush will not be collected at the curb.
Bulky items are placed at the curb or roadside by 6:00 a.m. on the normal garbage collection day, while brush follows its own five cubic yard limit over 30 days with limbs under five feet and 75 pounds stacked one direction. Brush cut from vacant lots, mixed with garbage or junk, or sitting under wires or behind vehicles is refused, so the two piles and the containers all need their own space.
Televisions, computers and the rest of the published electronics list go through the city electronics recycling programme rather than the trash, with arrangements for large loads through the office at 336-243-2489. The county landfill charges per item for e-waste, and discarded computers and televisions are banned from landfill disposal, so neither route is the green rollout.
Household chemicals are not collected at the curb. The county runs Household Hazardous Waste Day on the first Saturday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Residential Landfill, with a limit of 18 gallon paint cans, and the same material is taken during the week at 3RC in Winston-Salem.
Glass left the rollout, cardboard still needs flattening
Glass is no longer accepted in the blue recycling rollout, so bottles and jars go to one of five cardboard and glass drop off points at Fire Station 2 on Hargrave Road, Fire Station 3 on Biesecker Road, Holt-Moffitt Field on West 9th Avenue, Talbert Boulevard or the State Street parking lot. Recyclables go out the night before or by 6:00 a.m., containers return the same evening, and large cardboard is flattened and set beside the rollout rather than jammed inside it.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Lexington Recycling and Waste Collection, with Davidson County Integrated Solid Waste
Put the bulky load out with the regular collection day
For a household with furniture, an appliance, a tire or another large item that will not fit the rollout.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Furniture and ordinary household bulk carry no published item charge and ride the collection service the household already pays for through the monthly rollout charge, while white goods are billed per appliance and used tires per tire. A special pickup outside the ordinary collection is billed hourly plus the tipping fee.
Arrange it
Place the items at the curb or roadside no later than 6:00 a.m. on the normal garbage collection day, keep them clear of the rollout containers, and call Public Services at 336-243-2489 if anything about the load is unusual.
Construction debris, carpet, yard waste, chemicals and mixed piles are refused, and a load left out without an arrangement that the city has not agreed to take can draw an administration or return trip charge instead of a pickup.
City of Lexington Recycling and Waste Collection, with Davidson County Integrated Solid Waste

For a household hauling construction debris, inert material, electronics, mattresses or a household load that does not fit the city collection.
Cost & conditions

Large loads need to be on site by 3:30 p.m. on a weekday and 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday.
Arrange it
Drive to the Residential Landfill on 600 Davidson County Landfill Road in Lexington, which opens at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and sort the load before arrival so inert material is charged at the lower rate.
White goods, whole scrap tires, wooden pallets and yard trash are banned from landfill disposal by state law, and the county asks that questions about those items go to the scale house at 336-242-2289 rather than to the tipping floor.

Use a staffed county recycling centre
For a Davidson County household dropping off household recyclables, glass and motor oil between landfill trips.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The recycling centres are free for Davidson County household material, with glass separated from mixed recyclables and motor oil limited to five gallons per drop off.
Arrange it

Centres take Davidson County household material only, the accepted item list is published as an image rather than text, and bagged household garbage belongs at the Residential Landfill convenience centre instead.
