Scrap metal removal in Lexington: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Appliances and white goods
Accepted with preparationAppliances 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.
Scrap metal and metal items
Special rules applyMetal 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.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
The container window, and the midnight rule
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.

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.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Lexington.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal 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.
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 does scrap metal go in Lexington?
Confirm the route before loading it. The city fee schedule prices white goods per appliance but publishes no loose scrap metal rate, and the county recycling centre list of accepted items is published as an image, so call Public Services at 336-243-2489 about a city collection or the county scale house at 336-242-2289 about the right county site. North Carolina bans white goods and aluminum cans from landfill disposal, so scrap metal is a diversion item rather than 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
