You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
City cost & eligibility
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.
When & how
Put the pile at the curb by 6 a.m. on the recycling collection day and retrieve the carts by 9 p.m. The bulky route runs every other week on the same day as recycling.
Get it ready
Loose bulky waste goes in clear plastic bags, personal containers must be marked Throw Away or they stay at the curb, items sit 2 feet from the roll-out carts and clear of overhead lines and parked cars, and an individual item must not weigh more than 65 pounds unless it rolls. Mattresses and box springs come wrapped. Tires are limited to two collections a year with at most eight auto or pickup tires per collection and the rims removed, and carpet and padding go out rolled and tied in rolls no longer than 6 feet and under 65 pounds.
Items go at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Recycling carts sit at least 2 feet apart and 2 feet from mailboxes, hydrants and parked cars, and carts come back in by 9 p.m. on the collection day. Garbage and yard waste run weekly while recycling and bulky waste run every other week on the same day.
Furniture, appliances, carpet and padding and small amounts of construction debris go curbside 2 feet away from the roll-out carts, clear of low overhead lines, parked cars and other impediments. Loose bulky material goes in clear plastic bags, and a personal container used for disposal has to be marked Throw Away or it is left at the curb.
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 Concord Solid Waste Services and Cabarrus County Solid Waste Management
Set bulky items out with the city collection
A Concord household with furniture, an appliance, a mattress, electronics or a small construction load that the roll-out carts will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulky waste and the separate e-waste collection are part of the residential service, collected bi-weekly on the recycling day, with no published per-item charge inside the limit of 10 cubic yards of bulky waste or 6 cubic yards of bulky waste plus 4 cubic yards of construction debris.
Arrange it
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 pile above the city's volume limit becomes a paid roll-off container.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Concord.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Concord?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Will Concord pick up a mattress at the curb?+
Yes. A mattress or box spring is bulky waste, so it goes out with the every-other-week bulky collection on your recycling day, at the curb by 6 a.m. and 2 feet from the roll-out carts. The city asks that you wrap it in plastic first, and a piece that is too heavy for two people has to be dismantled or rolled to the truck.Official guidance
How does a couch leave a Concord home?+
A couch is bulky waste, so the city collects it from the curb on your every-other-week bulky day, at the curb by 6 a.m. and 2 feet from the carts. If it is still in salable condition, Habitat Cabarrus ReStore takes furniture without stains, tears or pet damage and picks larger pieces up free about a week after you book it.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go to the curb in Concord?+
Yes, once the food is out of it. Freezers and refrigerators, unit air conditioners and other Freon-containing appliances are on the city's bulky list and go out on the every-other-week bulky day, and a unit with wheels can be rolled to the truck. The Cabarrus County Landfill also takes appliances with no drop-off charge, and ReStore takes a working appliance under 15 years old as a donation.Official guidance
How does a television leave a Concord home?+
Concord collects e-waste at the curb on the same day as your recycling, 2 feet from the carts and never inside them, and the state ban on electronics in landfills is why. The Cabarrus County Landfill and the county household hazardous waste facility also take electronics with no drop-off charge, and a working flat-screen television can be donated to Habitat Cabarrus ReStore.Official guidance
How much construction debris will Concord take at the curb?+
No more than 4 cubic yards, either on its own alongside 6 cubic yards of other bulky waste to stay inside the city's 10 cubic yard limit, or as part of that limit. Nails come out or bend flush, loose material is bagged or boxed under 35 pounds each, and anything past the limit becomes a roll-off container scheduled through Waste Pro or a load taken to the Cabarrus County Landfill.Official guidance
Will Concord take a treadmill or elliptical?+
Concord does not name exercise equipment among its bulky categories, so confirm it with Customer Care at 704-920-5555 first, and bring the machine down to pieces under the 65 pound item limit. Habitat Cabarrus ReStore states that it accepts exercise equipment, exercise bikes and treadmills as a donation, which is the safer route for a machine that still works.Official guidance
How much bulky waste can go to the Concord curb at once?+
Up to 10 cubic yards of bulky waste, or 6 cubic yards of bulky waste plus 4 cubic yards of construction debris, on the every-other-week bulky day.
