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.

Construction and demolition debris is accepted at the Mecklenburg County full-service centers, priced per unit or by weight, and a load is capped at fourteen cubic yards before it has to go to a landfill.
City cost & eligibility
At a county full-service center more than one bulky item or a load past a small volume is charged per unit for construction and demolition debris, and a weighed load is charged per ton with a load minimum. Fees may be raised for an uncovered or unsecured load, and a mixed load is charged at the construction rate rather than the bulky rate. A private construction and demolition landfill or a container company quotes its own price. Confirm the category before you unload.
When & how
North Mecklenburg Disposal and Recycling Center, 12300 N. Statesville Road, Huntersville, Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Larger loads go to the Foxhole landfill at 17131 Lancaster Highway in Charlotte, whose landfill portion is closed on Saturdays.
Get it ready
Separate construction debris from yard waste and from household bulky items before you arrive, because mixed loads are not accepted and a mixed load is charged at the construction rate. Keep hazardous products such as roofing tar, solvents and liquid mastic out of the load and take them to the household hazardous waste area instead. Cover and secure the load, because an uncovered or unsecured load can raise the charge.
Mecklenburg County residents display a free blue entry sticker at the full-service centers and show proof of residence such as a driver's license. Without a sticker the load is charged at the out of county category, and a non-county resident can buy an annual sticker. Payment is by debit card or a major credit card except American Express, and the centers take no cash and no checks.
Paint, paint thinner, solvents, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent tubes, mercury items and propane tanks up to 20 pounds go to the household hazardous waste area at any Mecklenburg County full-service center, free for county residents. Batteries, including lithium, lithium-ion and tool batteries, also go there rather than in the trash. Ammunition, explosives, pharmaceuticals and smoke detectors are not accepted, and the county says smoke detectors belong in the regular trash.
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.

Waste Pro under contract with the Town of Cornelius, and Mecklenburg County Solid Waste full-service centers
Foxhole landfill for larger loads
Construction, demolition and bulky loads that are too large for a full-service drop-off center, including trailers longer than sixteen feet.
Cost & conditions
The county charges by weight for construction and demolition material and for bulky waste at the landfill, with a load minimum, and a mixed load is charged at the construction rate. Fees may be raised for an uncovered or unsecured load. Confirm the current rate and the unloading point at the fee booth.
Arrange it
Drive to 17131 Lancaster Highway, Charlotte, NC 28277. The full-service drop-off area keeps the standard Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours, and the landfill portion is closed on Saturdays.

Renovation and demolition material that a household would rather take to a private construction and demolition landfill.
Cost & conditions
The company quotes its own rate for the material and the load, and no rate is published, so call ahead with the material type and the vehicle before you load.
Arrange it
Drive to 2105 Speedrail Ct., Harrisburg, NC 28078, and call 704-455-1561 before the trip.
This is a private construction and demolition landfill listed by the Town of Cornelius, not a county facility, so accepted material, load limits, hours and prices are set by the operator and have to be confirmed.
Bulky items a household would rather have collected from the property instead of hauling to a county center.
Cost & conditions
The town states that residents may contract with a private hauler for bulk items, and each company sets its own price for the load, so the cost is quoted by the hauler you choose rather than published by the town.
Arrange it
Call a licensed private hauler or a junk removal company and describe the items, the access and the pickup address.
A private hauler is the route the town names for bulk items, but the town publishes no rate, no hauler list and no item guarantee, and hazardous material cannot be collected this way because household hazardous waste is free to county residents only at the county centers.
A Cornelius household hauls bulky material rather than setting it out, because the town provides garbage, recycling and yard waste collection only. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions, computers, scrap metal, construction debris and household hazardous waste go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center, and the nearest is the North Mecklenburg center at 12300 N. Statesville Road in Huntersville, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Loads must arrive separated by material, one large bulky item is free to a county resident with a blue sticker, and loads above fourteen cubic yards go to the Foxhole landfill in Charlotte. The town also lists the North Mecklenburg Landfill and the Highway 49 construction and demolition landfill for renovation material. Check the current hours, accepted items and rates before you load.
