City collection A mattress or box spring is bulky waste in Concord and comes off the curb with the every-other-week bulky collection, and the city asks that it be wrapped plastic before setout. No charge. Bulky waste is part of the residential service, collected bi-weekly on the recycling collection day, and the city publishes no per-item charge for a mattress or box spring inside the 10 cubic yard bulky limit.
City collection Concord collects appliances with the bulky route, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and other Freon units, and the county landfill and the ReStore add two more free routes for a working machine.

City collection Bulky waste is Concord's catch-all for anything too large for a cart, collected every other week on the recycling day up to the city's volume limit before the load becomes a roll-off container. Bulky waste is collected bi-weekly as part of the residential service with no published per-item charge inside the city's limit of 10 cubic yards, or 6 cubic yards of bulky waste plus 4 cubic yards of construction debris. Beyond that limit the load becomes a roll-off container scheduled through Waste Pro at a rate the city does not publish, so confirm before building an oversized pile.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Concord runs its own residential collection, so this is a city service rather than a subscription. Garbage and yard waste come weekly and recycling and bulky waste every other week on the same scheduled collection day, and bulky waste is the city's catch-all for anything too large for a cart, including furniture, appliances, scrap metal, tires, carpet and padding and small amounts of construction debris. Everything above the city's size limit, and anything a household would rather haul itself, goes to the Cabarrus County Landfill on Irish Potato Road, where construction and demolition debris, yard waste and bagged household loads carry a published per-load or per-ton fee and scrap metal, appliances, electronics and up to five tires carry none.
A mattress or box spring is bulky waste in Concord and comes off the curb with the every-other-week bulky collection, and the city asks that it be wrapped plastic before setout.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky waste is part of the residential service, collected bi-weekly on the recycling collection day, and the city publishes no per-item charge for a mattress or box spring inside the 10 cubic yard bulky limit.
When & how
Put the mattress at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day, 2 feet from the roll-out carts and clear of low overhead lines, parked cars and other obstructions.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress or box spring in plastic before setout, which the city strongly encourages for health and safety and to guard against contaminants such as bed bugs; mattress disposal bags are sold at most major retailers. Loose bulky material goes in clear plastic bags, and a set too heavy for two people has to be dismantled first unless it rolls.
Furniture is the first category Concord names for bulky waste, so a couch goes out with the every-other-week collection or to Habitat Cabarrus ReStore as a free donation.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city's bulky collection carries furniture at no published per-item charge inside the 10 cubic yard limit, and Habitat Cabarrus ReStore accepts salable furniture as a free donation and picks larger pieces up from the curb at no charge.
When & how
Put the piece at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day, or book the ReStore donation pickup about a week ahead through the donation hotline.
Get it ready
Dismantle swing sets, pool tables, basketball goals and anything too heavy for two people before setout, because an individual item must not weigh more than 65 pounds unless it rolls. Remove concrete from posts, fencing and playground equipment, since a piece encased in concrete is not collected.
Concord collects appliances with the bulky route, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and other Freon units, and the county landfill and the ReStore add two more free routes for a working machine.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city's bulky collection takes appliances at no published per-item charge, the Cabarrus County Landfill lists scrap metal and appliances among the items with no drop-off charge, and Habitat Cabarrus ReStore takes working appliances under 15 years old as a free donation.
When & how
Set the appliance at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day, or drop it at the county landfill, which is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Get it ready
Empty all food from a refrigerator or freezer before it leaves the house. Freon-containing units, stoves, ranges, dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and water heaters are all on the city's bulky list, and a unit with wheels can be rolled to the collection vehicle instead of dismantled.
North Carolina bans electronics from landfills, so Concord collects televisions, computers and anything with a circuit board at the curb on the recycling day, and the county takes them free as well.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Concord lists e-waste as a curbside category with no published per-item charge, the Cabarrus County Landfill states that electronics do not have a fee, and Habitat Cabarrus ReStore takes flat-screen televisions and laptops as free donations.
When & how
Set the device out by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day, 2 feet from the garbage and recycling carts, or drop it at the county landfill or the household hazardous waste facility on a scheduled collection day or by appointment.
Get it ready
Never put a television, monitor or computer in the garbage or recycling cart, because the state ban and the city's own recycling list both exclude them. Erase anything that stores personal data before it leaves the house, and expect a desktop computer or printer to be refused by the ReStore, which takes laptops and flat-screen televisions rather than tube sets.
Small tear-out loads go at the curb with the bulky collection, up to 4 cubic yards alongside 6 cubic yards of other bulky waste, and anything larger moves to the Cabarrus County Landfill or a paid roll-off container.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 per load weighing 1 to 500 pounds at the Cabarrus County Landfill, with higher published per-load rates up to 1,999 pounds and per-ton rates for construction and demolition material. Cabarrus County Landfill, 4441 Irish Potato Road, Concord. The county takes credit and debit cards only, with no cash, and does not accept residential waste in trailers over 8 feet, in box trucks, or any house or rental house cleanout. The curb route itself is included in the residential service up to the city's volume limit.
When & how
Put up to 4 cubic yards at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day with the bulky pile, or take a load to the county landfill Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., where construction waste is not accepted after 4:45 p.m. on weekdays or 11:45 a.m. on Saturdays.
Get it ready
Remove nails or bend them flush with the wood, bag or box loose material such as drywall and insulation, keep each bag or box under 35 pounds, and secure the pile so nothing scatters. Concrete has to come off posts, fencing and playground equipment before the curb, and any piece encased in concrete is refused.
Concord does not name exercise equipment in its bulky categories, so the reliable route is a donation, and Habitat Cabarrus ReStore lists exercise equipment, exercise bikes and treadmills among the items it takes.
City cost & eligibility
Habitat Cabarrus ReStore takes exercise equipment, exercise bikes and treadmills as a free donation. Concord publishes no category for the machine and an item heavier than 65 pounds has to be dismantled before it can go out, so call Customer Care at 704-920-5555 to confirm the city will collect it before it is set at the curb.
When & how
Book the ReStore donation about a week ahead through the donation hotline, or confirm a bulky collection day with Customer Care before setting the machine out.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it, because the city requires anything too heavy for two people to be dismantled and caps an individual item at 65 pounds unless it rolls. Remove a console or battery pack so it can be handled as electronics separately.

Put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day, 2 feet from the carts and clear of obstructions, and call Customer Care at 704-920-5555 with questions about a particular item.
Items too heavy for two people must be dismantled, individual items are capped at 65 pounds unless they roll, tires are limited to two collections a year and eight tires per collection, and anything encased in concrete is refused.

A household with furniture, a working appliance, a flat-screen television, usable building materials or exercise equipment that is still good enough to sell again.
Cost & conditions
No charge. ReStore takes donations at no charge and picks up larger items free through its donation hotline, with the pickup scheduled about a week ahead.
Arrange it
Call the donation hotline at 704.786.4000 to schedule a pickup, or drop items off Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2902 South Cannon Blvd. in Kannapolis.
Crews do not enter the home, so items go in a garage, on the porch or at the curb, and apartment donations have to be in the first-floor breezeway. ReStore cannot take mattresses, box springs, sleeper sofas, tube televisions, desktop computers, printers, dishwashers or appliances over 15 years old.
Order a roll-off container for a load past the city limit
A household whose pile goes past the city's volume limit, such as a full clean-out or a larger renovation tear-out.
Cost & conditions
A load above the city's limit is a roll-off container scheduled and paid for through Waste Pro, and Concord does not publish the container price. Confirm the current rate before ordering.
Arrange it
Call Waste Pro at 980-255-3800 to schedule the container and arrange payment before the pile grows.
This is the commercial route rather than the free residential curb route, and the same material rules apply, so keep concrete, hazardous waste and anything the county refuses out of the container.
The self-haul route for this address is Cabarrus County, and the same landfill on Irish Potato Road takes both kinds of load. Household and yard waste goes by the bag or by the pickup or trailer with a published per-load fee, and construction and demolition debris goes by weight with its own schedule, subject to a state disposal tax, and only credit or debit cards are accepted with no cash. The county refuses residential waste in trailers over 8 feet long or in box trucks and refuses house and rental cleanouts, and it is not accepting construction and demolition waste from roll-off trucks or from whole home tear-downs. Scrap metal and appliances, drained power lawn equipment, electronics, and up to five tires per load from county residents carry no drop-off charge, which makes the county the better route for a working appliance or an old computer than a paid load of mixed debris.
