The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Small amounts of building material ride the bulk route up to two 32-gallon containers, and anything larger goes by weight across the county landfill scales.
City cost & eligibility
From $44 per ton for construction and demolition material at the Alamance County Landfill scales, where mixed construction and demolition, wood, drywall and sheetrock, roofing and shingles, bricks and concrete are all priced at $44.00 per ton and yard waste at $32.00 per ton. Self-haul 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, with a $5.00 scale minimum; the city bulk route takes building materials and lumber only up to two 32-gallon containers and refuses anything larger.
When & how
For small amounts, put the material out with the bulk items by 7am on the regular trash day and keep it within two 32-gallon containers. For a larger load, take it to the landfill at 2701 Austin Quarter Road in Graham during scale hours and expect the load to be weighed.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the black cart, which refuses wood and building materials, keep it out of the recycling cart, and separate concrete, wood and drywall only as far as the landfill asks at the gate, because each category is weighed and priced by the ton.
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.
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.

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.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Burlington.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Burlington?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Burlington?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
How much construction debris can go out at the curb in Burlington?+
Only a little. Building materials and lumber in excess of two 32-gallon containers are on the city's not collected list for bulk waste, so the route for a renovation load is the Alamance County Landfill, where it is weighed across the scales during scale hours and priced by the ton. The city bulk route still takes the small amounts a household puts out by 7am on the regular trash day.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
