You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lexington.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Lexington?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
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. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.
How do bulky items get collected in Lexington?+
Put them at the curb or roadside no later than 6:00 a.m. on your normal garbage collection day. Furniture and similar household bulk carries no published item charge, while the fee schedule prices white goods per appliance and used tires per tire, and a load mixed with garbage, trash, brush or construction debris is refused.Official guidance
What does Lexington charge to collect an appliance?+
The city fee schedule lists white goods at a per item charge, and the waste collection page names stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, washers and dryers among the appliances the department collects. Call Public Services at 336-243-2489 to arrange the collection, and note that North Carolina bans white goods from landfill disposal, so an appliance cannot simply be buried with household trash.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Lexington?+
Through the city electronics recycling programme, which names televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, telephones, copiers and media players among the accepted items and takes arrangements for large loads at 336-243-2489. The Davidson County landfill is the other route and charges a published per item fee for e-waste such as televisions and computers, and North Carolina bans discarded computers and televisions from landfill disposal, so neither route is the trash cart.Official guidance
Can construction debris go in the Lexington garbage cart?+
No. The city states that construction debris of any kind is not collected, that a container holding it is not emptied, and that the driver leaves a violation notification explaining the refusal. Carpet is refused the same way. The material goes to the Davidson County landfill, which charges a minimum per vehicle load and then either an inert debris rate or the municipal solid waste tonnage rate, or to a private hauler.Official guidance
Will Lexington take tires?+
Yes, with the rim off and a per tire charge from the city fee schedule. Set them out with the household bulk collection and confirm with Public Services at 336-243-2489. Whole scrap tires cannot go to the Davidson County landfill because North Carolina bans them from landfill disposal, so the city collection or a tire retailer is the route rather than the trash.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and bulky items in Lexington?+
The city's Recycling and Waste Collection division collects garbage, recycling and yard waste with city-owned rollout containers, and its Public Services Administration answers at 336-243-2489 for containers, missed pickups and bulky loads. Disposal sits with Davidson County Integrated Solid Waste, whose Residential Landfill and convenience centre are on 600 Davidson County Landfill Road in Lexington.Official guidance
Which parts of a clean out cost extra?+
Furniture and ordinary household bulk carry no published item charge, while the fee schedule charges per appliance for white goods and per tire for used tires, adds a monthly charge for an extra garbage or recycling rollout, and bills a special pickup or disposal by the hour plus the tipping fee. Confirm the total for an unusual load with Public Services Administration at 336-243-2489 before it goes out.Official guidance
What is banned from the county landfill?+
North Carolina bans a long list from landfill disposal, including white goods, whole scrap tires, wooden pallets except when mixed into construction waste at a construction and demolition landfill, yard trash, discarded computers and televisions, used oil, lead acid batteries, antifreeze, aluminum cans and motor vehicle oil filters. The county asks readers to call 336-224-5376 or 336-242-2289 about where those items go.Official guidance
How do chemicals and electronics leave a Lexington home?+
Chemicals wait for 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 an 18 gallon paint can limit and a weekday option at 3RC in Winston-Salem. Electronics go through the city electronics recycling programme, which names televisions, computers, monitors and printers among its accepted items and takes arrangements for large loads at 336-243-2489, or to the county landfill at a published per item fee.Official guidance
