City collection Furniture is on the city bulky item list and is collected by appointment on the household collection day, and windows and mirrors go out with the glass taped and marked on both sides. The city publishes no bulky item fee, so call Environmental Services at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 to confirm any charge when the pickup is scheduled.
City collection A mattress and box spring are on the city bulky item list, so a Rocky Mount residence schedules a bulky pickup and sets the bedding at the curb for its collection day. The city publishes no bulky item fee on the program page, and the rates and fees page states that it is being updated for fiscal year 2026-27, so call Environmental Services at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 to confirm any charge when the pickup is scheduled.
City collection Washers, dryers, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators and hot water heaters are collected from residents by appointment on the household trash day, emptied and separated from other bulky waste. The city publishes no appliance collection fee, and the county landfill describes refrigerant removal for a qualifying appliance as a free service, so confirm the city charge at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 and ask about the free county route when the appliance holds refrigerant.
City collection Household garbage goes in the rollout cart only, bagged, with the cart out by 6:30 a.m. and a published list of material the cart refuses. No charge. A residence inside the city limits served by the Environmental Services Division, which provides the rollout carts and collects household garbage once a week. The city publishes no separate collection charge, and an additional cart can be purchased from the city for a residence that regularly overflows.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Rocky Mount collects household garbage once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday depending on the street, and the division that runs it is the city's own Environmental Services Division, which also collects yard waste, bulky items, appliances and recyclables inside the city limits. Carts, bulk and yard waste go out by 6:30 a.m., carts sit three feet apart with the lid opening toward the street and the handles toward the house, and trash belongs inside the cart only. Anything too large for a rollout cart is a bulky item: furniture, mattresses and box springs, windows and mirrors, lawn equipment with the fluids drained and up to two automobile tires, collected by appointment two business days ahead. Building material has no city route at all, and the county layer takes over from there: a Nash County convenience center accepts bulky items, electronics, tires off the rims and construction waste up to 200 pounds per load with a permit, and the county construction and demolition landfill at 3057 Duke Road in Nashville takes larger project loads from Nash County addresses.
A mattress and box spring are on the city bulky item list, so a Rocky Mount residence schedules a bulky pickup and sets the bedding at the curb for its collection day.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance collection fee, and the county landfill describes refrigerant removal for a qualifying appliance as a free service, so confirm the city charge at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 and ask about the free county route when the appliance holds refrigerant.
When & how
The appliance is collected on the same day as household trash and is scheduled two business days ahead. Appliances supplied by a landlord or a commercial establishment are not collected.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, remove the doors or lay a refrigerator face down, and set it at the curb separated from other bulky waste and away from automobiles, mailboxes, fences, wires and limbs. Never place an appliance in the rollout cart or the recycling cart, and take a unit that holds refrigerant to the county landfill when the city will not collect it.
Televisions, monitors and computers are refused in the recycling cart and have no published curbside route, so they go to the free annual America Recycles Day event or to a Nash County convenience center with a permit.
City cost & eligibility
No curbside electronics pickup is published, the event date still shown on the city and county pages is the November 8, 2025 date, and the county convenience center permit price is not printed, so confirm the next event date or the permit cost before loading a screen.

Rocky Mount does not collect construction material: building materials sit outside residential solid waste, and the bulky list refuses dirt, rocks, concrete, blocks, bricks and roofing shingles.
City cost & eligibility
There is no city construction route. Nash County takes construction and demolition waste at its landfill on Duke Road in Nashville for a per ton tipping fee on loads generated in Nash County, and a county convenience center takes a load of 200 pounds or less with lumber cut to six feet or less but refuses bricks, asphalt, concrete and shingles.

When & how
Schedule two business days before the household collection day, which runs Tuesday through Friday depending on the street address, and the county convenience centers take bulky items on their own attendant hours for a household holding a permit.
Get it ready
Put bulk out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, away from automobiles, mailboxes, fences, utility boxes, wires and limbs, tape the glass on a window or mirror and mark both sides, and drain the fluids from lawn equipment. Keep dirt, rocks, concrete, blocks, bricks, hazardous or flammable material, ashes, sawdust, roofing shingles, car parts, batteries, logs, stumps, closed containers, propane or oxygen cylinders and commercial tires out of the pile.
Household garbage goes in the rollout cart only, bagged, with the cart out by 6:30 a.m. and a published list of material the cart refuses.
City cost & eligibility

City cost & eligibility
There is no curbside collection for household hazardous waste, the event date still shown on the city and county pages is the November 8, 2025 date, and the county convenience centers refuse wet paint, stains, varnishes and other solvents, so confirm the next event date before loading chemicals.
When & how
The published event runs 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Golden East Crossing Mall JC Penney parking lot on 1100 North Wesleyan Blvd, and the county posts the date on its solid waste page each year.
Get it ready

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.
