City collection Couches, chairs, tables and bed frames are named in the city's bulky waste examples and are picked up at the curb on request. Small furniture and loose items can also go out on the Wednesday trash day. No charge. Bulky collection is inside the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee billed on the utility bill, and the county convenience centers and landfill take furniture at no charge for permit holders. Small furniture that fits a bag or a loose pile also rides with the Wednesday overflow collection at no added cost.
City collection A mattress is named in the city's bulky waste examples, so it is collected at the curb after the resident asks for the pickup. Bulky collection is part of the monthly solid waste service rather than a separate bill. No charge. Bulky item collection such as furniture and appliances is included in the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee every residential household pays on its utility bill. The county landfill and the Landfill Road and Sims convenience centers also take mattresses at no charge for holders of a valid user permit.
City collection Appliances and other white goods are named in the city's bulky waste examples, with water heaters and air conditioners among the city's own examples, so the unit is collected at the curb on request rather than going in a cart. No charge. Appliance pickup is part of the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee on the utility bill, and the county convenience centers accept appliances and white goods for permit holders. Wilson city households are outside the county solid waste district, so county access runs through the temporary permit.

Bulky item collection is covered by the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee billed on the utility bill, which also pays for household garbage, compost and recycling. Excessive yard waste and special arrangements are the items the city says may involve added cost, and a second roll-out container costs $50.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Wilson collects its own residential waste. A monthly solid waste fee on the utility bill covers garbage, compost, recycling and bulky item collection, and bulky waste means the items that will not fit in a garbage truck or need special handling: furniture, mattresses, appliances and white goods, long limbs and tires. Pickups are not automatic. Residents call the sanitation office or file a request in the Fix-It Wilson app, then set the items behind the curb and clear of obstructions. City ordinance makes construction and remodeling debris, shingles, concrete, dirt, automotive parts, flammable tanks, furnaces and stumps the homeowner's responsibility, and that is where Wilson County takes over: the landfill on Highway 42 East charges by the ton for construction and demolition debris, and the county convenience centers take white goods, electronics, scrap tires and bulky furniture from permit holders.
A mattress is named in the city's bulky waste examples, so it is collected at the curb after the resident asks for the pickup. Bulky collection is part of the monthly solid waste service rather than a separate bill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky item collection such as furniture and appliances is included in the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee every residential household pays on its utility bill. The county landfill and the Landfill Road and Sims convenience centers also take mattresses at no charge for holders of a valid user permit.
When & how
Call 252-399-2424 or file a request in the Fix-It Wilson app, then set the mattress behind the curb before the pickup. The city asks that items be placed out before the request is made.
Get it ready
Put the mattress behind the curb and keep it clear of trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes and other obstructions. Do not set it on top of a water meter or utility box, and keep it dry so the crew can lift it.
Couches, chairs, tables and bed frames are named in the city's bulky waste examples and are picked up at the curb on request. Small furniture and loose items can also go out on the Wednesday trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky collection is inside the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee billed on the utility bill, and the county convenience centers and landfill take furniture at no charge for permit holders. Small furniture that fits a bag or a loose pile also rides with the Wednesday overflow collection at no added cost.
When & how
Call 252-399-2424 or use the Fix-It Wilson app for the curb pickup, or set small furniture out for the Wednesday collection with everything behind the curb before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the street and off the sidewalk, away from fire hydrants, mailboxes, water meters and utility boxes, and leave it dry. Keep loose cushions and small parts bagged so they are not scattered before the crew arrives.
Appliances and other white goods are named in the city's bulky waste examples, with water heaters and air conditioners among the city's own examples, so the unit is collected at the curb on request rather than going in a cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliance pickup is part of the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee on the utility bill, and the county convenience centers accept appliances and white goods for permit holders. Wilson city households are outside the county solid waste district, so county access runs through the temporary permit.
When & how
Request the pickup at 252-399-2424 or through the Fix-It Wilson app, and set the appliance behind the curb beforehand. No appliance appointment is described beyond the bulky request.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure or remove any door that could trap a child, and keep it behind the curb away from obstructions and off water meters and utility boxes. The city publishes no refrigerant instruction, so mention a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner when you call and confirm how it should be prepared.
Televisions are named in the city's white goods examples and the county convenience centers accept electronics including computers and televisions, so screens have a curbside route by request and a drop-off route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A television rides with the bulky collection that the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee already covers. The county centers list electronics as an acceptable item and publish no per item charge, but access needs a valid user permit, and Wilson city households are outside the solid waste district that gets the $45 availability fee.
When & how
Request the curb pickup at 252-399-2424 or in the Fix-It Wilson app, or take the equipment to a county convenience center, which is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep screens dry and whole, have someone help with the lift, and erase personal data before a computer leaves the house. Televisions and computers belong with the bulky or county drop-off route rather than in a recycling cart, and glass, dishes and window glass are excluded from the county glass containers.
City ordinance puts construction and remodeling debris on the homeowner or the contractor, and city crews will not collect it, including shingles, concrete, dirt and stumps. The county landfill is the published destination and charges by the ton.
City cost & eligibility
From $43 per ton of construction and demolition debris at the Wilson County Landfill, a figure that includes the $2.00 per ton solid waste tax imposed by the State of North Carolina. Cash, check or credit card is accepted at the landfill with no American Express. The county publishes separate per ton rates for mixed solid waste, yard waste, land clearing debris, asbestos and tires on the same rate page, and those amounts are set by the county rather than the city.
When & how
Take the load to the Wilson County Landfill at 2400 Hwy 42 E, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residential customers can also bring small loads of construction debris from their residence on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris separate from household garbage, yard waste and anything flammable, and expect the load to be weighed. Roofing shingles, concrete, rocks, gravel, dirt, sod and stumps are all on the city's refused list, and propane tanks, gasoline and hot ashes stay out of the truck entirely.
An exercise machine is not named in the city's bulky examples, so the pickup is confirmed with the sanitation office before the machine goes to the curb. If it counts as bulky waste, the collection is covered by the monthly solid waste fee.
City cost & eligibility
Bulky collection is included in the $23.50 monthly solid waste fee, but the city's published examples cover furniture, appliances, long limbs and tires rather than exercise machines. Call 252-399-2424 or file a request in the Fix-It Wilson app and confirm that the machine is collected before setting it out.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then place it behind the curb before the requested pickup. Small items and loose pieces can also ride with the Wednesday overflow collection if they fit that route.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove loose weights and the console so the frame is light enough for two people, and keep everything clear of trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes, water meters and utility boxes.

When & how
Call 252-399-2424 or file a request in the Fix-It Wilson app, place the items behind the curb first, and use the Wednesday collection for bagged overflow and small loose items set out before 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep items behind the curb and clear of trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters and utility boxes, and bag anything loose. Boxes and cardboard, motor oil in a clear sealed container, used cooking oil, dried latex paint and batteries are handled as special requests rather than as ordinary bulky waste.
Bulky pickups start with a phone call or a request
Nothing bulky is collected automatically. Residents call 252-399-2424 or file a service request in the Fix-It Wilson app, and the city asks that the items be placed behind the curb before the request is made so the crew can see them.
Items go behind the curb and away from trees, parked vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, signs and utility poles, and never on top of a water meter or utility box. Roll-out containers sit with the handles facing the house and at least three feet from obstructions, and containers are set out by 7 a.m. and brought back in within 24 hours.
Wednesday is the city's trash day for bagged household garbage, small furniture and loose items that will not fit the roll-out container. Roll-out containers are not serviced on Wednesdays outside designated areas, yard waste is not collected that day, and junk normally collected at the curb on Wednesdays is skipped during holiday schedule weeks.
Boxes and cardboard, used motor oil in a clear container with a sealable lid, used cooking oil, dried latex paint and batteries are collected through a special request to the sanitation office or the Fix-It Wilson app. Gasoline and tanks are refused, and hot ashes are never collected.
The last full week of April is Spring Clean-Up Week, when the normal collection rules are waived except that car frames and construction debris are still not picked up. Residents do not need to call during that week, removal can take several weeks when participation is heavy, and immediate removal means hauling the material to the county landfill.
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.

A household with white goods, a television or computer, scrap tires up to five off the rim, cardboard, cooking oil or bulky furniture, mattress or yard waste to drop off.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes no per item charge for these materials, so the cost to confirm is the permit. A district household pays $45 a year through the solid waste availability fee on its tax bill, while a household outside the district, which includes the city, buys a temporary permit that renews annually. Call Wilson County Solid Waste Services at 252-399-2823 to confirm the current permit and what it covers.
Arrange it
Display a valid user permit, load the material yourself, and use a center in the county district Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Landfill Road and Sims are the centers that take bulky items.
Incorporated towns and cities are not inside the solid waste district, so city households need the temporary permit rather than the district's availability fee. Commercial and industrial waste is not accepted at the centers, three named centers close on Wednesdays, and every center closes Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Construction and demolition debris, land clearing and inert debris, mixed solid waste from businesses and residences, residential and commercial yard waste, scrap tires, asbestos, and used motor oil, antifreeze and oil filters

Yes. Large bulky items such as mattresses and furniture can go to the convenience centers on Landfill Road or in Sims, or to the Wilson County Landfill on Highway 42 East, at no charge for holders of a valid user permit.

What do I do with a refrigerator or air conditioner?+

Can city residents use the county convenience centers?+
