Appliances and white goods are named bulk items and the bulk trucks collect white goods separately from general junk, so a washer, dryer or stove goes out on the regular trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City residential and small business accounts inside the monthly solid waste fee of $18.70, for an appliance at the curb by 7am on the collection day; the Alamance County Landfill convenience center also takes appliances from households that self-haul.
When & how
Put the appliance at the curb by 7am on the regular trash day, or take it to the convenience center at the landfill during its opening hours if you would rather not wait for the bulk truck.
Get it ready
Take the doors off, pull the loose cords, keep the appliance out of the black cart, which refuses metal and building materials, and keep it clear of the cart and the recycling cart so the automated arms have room.
A unit holding refrigerant shares the appliance route, but no city or county page states how the refrigerant is handled, so the charge question has to be settled before the unit goes out.
City cost & eligibility
Burlington names appliances and white goods among its bulk items and the county sends appliances to its convenience center, but neither body states whether a unit holding refrigerant needs the charge removed or the unit tagged first, and no local removal price is published. Confirm the requirement with the Solid Waste Division at 336-222-5111 or the landfill at (336) 376-8902 before the refrigerator or air conditioner leaves the house.
When & how
Call the city or the landfill first, then either put the unit out with the bulk items by 7am on the regular trash day or take it to the convenience center at the landfill during its opening hours.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, take the doors off, keep the cord with the appliance, and leave the refrigerant sealed until someone confirms who is allowed to handle it, because the appliance acceptance does not settle that question on its own.
Each Burlington residential customer gets one black 95 gallon roll out container for household garbage, collected once a week on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday route with no Wednesday collection. The cart goes to the curb by 7:00 am with five feet of clearance on each side and fifteen feet above, and comes back in by 7:00 pm. The lid arrows face the street so the automated arms can grip the container, and the black cart refuses recyclables, yard waste, liquids, dirt, masonry, rock, metal, wood, building materials, ashes, contractor waste, fluorescent tubes, electronic waste and hazardous waste. In congested areas such as the central business district, rear packer trucks collect from containers no larger than 32 gallons, and only clear plastic bags are collected without a permanent container.
Bulk waste rides a separate truck on a convenience schedule
Furniture, mattresses, rolled carpet and padding, appliances, metals, bulk limbs and yard waste are bulk items, and they do not ride the garbage truck. Bulk material goes out by 7am on the regular trash day and is collected Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on a convenience schedule rather than a guaranteed same day pickup, and the trucks collect white goods, large junk and yard brush separately, so the pile has to be separated by content. A large pile may need more than one trip. Bulk collection is not offered to businesses or institutions.
Banned landfill items and oversized loads are the two ways a set out goes wrong
Tires, electronics such as computer equipment and televisions, wooden pallets, hazardous and liquid waste, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, lead acid batteries, fluorescent lights, mercury thermostats, ABC beverage containers, regulated medical waste and oyster shells are banned landfill items and will not be picked up; an abandoned banned item left at the curb may be collected and billed. Items too large for the truck, building materials and lumber above two 32-gallon containers, logs and stumps, closed containers and automobile parts are also refused. Since August 19, 2026, bulk waste above a standard pickup truck bed load is treated as excessive and draws a minimum fee, with another fee for each additional landfill trip.
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 Burlington Public Works Solid Waste Division with GFL Environmental and the Alamance County Landfill

Haul the load to the Alamance County Landfill
A household with a load of construction debris, wood, drywall, roofing, yard waste, metal, tires, bagged garbage or electronic waste that the city route will not take.
Cost & conditions
From $1 per 13-gallon bag of household garbage at the convenience center, with larger bags at $2.00, a mattress at $5.00, a box spring at $3.00, a television or computer monitor at $5.00 and scale loads priced by the ton including $44.00 for construction debris and $32.00 for yard waste, with a 2.95 percent service fee and a $2.20 minimum on card and check payments. Household material brought to 2701 Austin Quarter Road in Graham; the convenience center takes cash only, while the scales take cash, card or check with a $5.00 minimum.
Arrange it
Take bagged garbage and recyclables to the convenience center, and take anything large or bulky across the scales during scale hours, which are Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Construction debris, large residential loads, yard waste and brush, tires and metal are only accepted during scale hours, and the convenience center is cash only.
Book a private hauler for what the city route will not take
A business, institution, landlord or household with an oversized pile, a contractor load or banned material that the city's residential bulk route will not collect.
Cost & conditions
Burlington publishes no rate for private hauling, and the city route itself is not available to businesses or institutions, so the price depends on the hauler, the material and the volume. Ask for a quote before the load is set out.
Arrange it
Arrange the pickup directly with a licensed hauler, and keep the material off the right of way until the hauler arrives so a banned item is not left for the city crew to tag.
The city will not collect from businesses or institutions, and the material still has to reach a permitted disposal site, so confirm where the hauler is taking the load.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Burlington.
How much does appliance removal cost in Burlington?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Burlington?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Will Burlington take a washer or a stove?+
Yes. Appliances and white goods are named bulk items in Burlington, and the bulk trucks collect white goods on a separate pass from general junk, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Put the appliance at the curb by 7am on the regular trash day, or take it to the Alamance County Landfill convenience center if you would rather haul it yourself.Official guidance
What has to happen before an old refrigerator goes out in Burlington?+
The appliance itself is accepted, because appliances and white goods are named bulk items, but no Burlington or Alamance County page states a refrigerant rule, so ask the Solid Waste Division at 336-222-5111 or the landfill at (336) 376-8902 what the unit needs before it goes to the curb. The county convenience center takes appliances from households that self-haul, and it is cash only.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Burlington?+
The City of Burlington collects it. The Solid Waste Division runs weekly household garbage, yard waste and bulk waste collection, the account comes with one black 95 gallon roll out container, and the service is billed on the monthly water and sewer statement. Collection days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday depending on the address, and there is no Wednesday collection. Household questions go to the division at 336-222-5111.Official guidance
What counts as bulk waste in Burlington?+
Furniture, mattresses, rolled carpet and padding, appliances, metals, bulk limbs and yard waste are the named bulk items. They go out by 7am on the regular trash day and are collected by a separate truck on a convenience schedule Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and the trucks collect white goods, large junk and yard brush separately, so the pile should be separated by content. What you cannot count on is anything on the banned landfill list, including tires, electronics, pallets, used oil, antifreeze, batteries and fluorescent lights.Official guidance
When does a bulk pile cost extra?+
Since August 19, 2026, bulk waste above the equivalent of a standard pickup truck bed load counts as excessive. The city applies a minimum fee to the first excess load and another fee for each additional trip to the landfill that the material requires, and the total is assessed on the adopted fee schedule by the quantity collected. A normal set out of furniture, a mattress, an appliance or a few bags does not trigger it.Official guidance
