Will the city take it?
Gastonia collects garbage every week in a green cart and runs a separate bulky collection for anything too large, heavy or bulky to fit inside it. Bulky pickup is a paid service with two free weeks a year, and the city publishes a weight based charge for excess household trash. Appliances and electronic equipment are their own pickups at a set price per item, arranged by phone and collected within 72 hours, while tires ride the bulky route for a fee that depends on whether they are still on the rim. Everything the city does not take has a county route: demolition debris and covered loads go to the Gaston County Landfill in Dallas, electronics go to the county recycling centres with GarbCard pricing, and hazardous products go to four county collection events a year.
