The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Out by 7 a.m., after 6 p.m. the night before

Garbage, bulky items and yard waste go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and may be set out after 6 p.m. the day before. Place the cart a few inches from the curb and never in the street, with the handle facing your house and the serial number facing the street, and bring it back in by midnight, since city ordinance requires carts to be stored behind the house.

City of Gastonia Solid Waste Division with Gaston County Solid Waste for landfill and household hazardous waste

Scheduled appliance collection

A household replacing a washer, dryer, refrigerator, water heater, heating or air conditioning unit, dishwasher, trash compactor, stove or microwave.

Cost & conditions
$25 per appliance on the city appliance and white goods collection, as set in the adopted city fee schedule. City of Gastonia residential addresses, scheduled by calling the Customer Care Center at 704-866-6714.
Arrange it
Call the Customer Care Center, then set the appliance at the curb before your regular collection day. The city collects within 72 hours.

With a new purchase

Donate reusable furniture and household goods

A household with usable furniture, housewares or appliances that someone else can use.

Cost & conditions
The city lists donation outlets without publishing what each one takes or charges, so call the outlet before loading and confirm its current acceptance.
Arrange it
The city's reuse page lists the Salvation Army at 1876 S. New Hope Rd on 704-867-8034, Habitat for Humanity at 1840 E. Franklin Blvd on 704-864-6536, Closets of Hope at 2020 E. Franklin Blvd, St. Michael's Thrift Store at 1111 S. York St on 704-864-8646, and Believe in Abilities at 901 S. Chester St on 704-810-9889. Some organizations collect reusable items from the home.

Each outlet sets its own acceptance and hours, and the city notes the list is not complete, so a donation is not a substitute for a scheduled pickup when the item is unusable.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Gastonia's self-haul network is the county's. The Gaston County Landfill at 3155 Philadelphia Church Road in Dallas takes household and commercial waste, construction and demolition debris and yard waste with a half ton minimum on each per ton rate, and it accepts electronic equipment during business hours. Electronics elsewhere in the county go to every recycling centre except the Farmers Market and Duke Street, and the convenience sites run on GarbCards bought in advance from a vendor rather than cash, with televisions, monitors and mattresses priced by card and CPUs, peripherals and tires off the rim free. Household hazardous products wait for one of the four county events in 2026 at 200 Leisure Lane in Dallas, though fluorescent bulbs and latex paint can be taken to the landfill by appointment and batteries, motor oil and oil filters have convenience site routes of their own.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gastonia.

How much does appliance removal cost in Gastonia?

A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Gastonia?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.

Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?

Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.

Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?

Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.

Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?

Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.

How much does an appliance pickup cost in Gastonia?

The city charges a set price per appliance, which the fee schedule lists separately from electronics. Call 704-866-6714 to report the item, put it at the curb before your collection day, and the pickup happens within 72 hours.Official guidance

Can I keep an old appliance out of the city pickup?

Yes. The city says appliances can be recycled through private companies, some of which collect from the home, and asks that a unit handled that way stay in your yard or driveway instead of going to the curb.Official guidance

Who handles garbage and bulky collection in Gastonia?

The City of Gastonia Solid Waste Division runs weekly residential collection and the weekly bulky collection, and the Customer Care Center on 704-866-6714 answers questions and schedules appliance and electronics pickups. The division offices are at 181 S. South Street, and missed garbage, recycling or yard waste collections must be reported within 24 hours.Official guidance

Does Gastonia have free bulky trash weeks?

Yes. The 2026 schedule sets the free excess household trash weeks as the week of March 16 to 20 and the week of September 21 to 25, collected at no charge only on the resident's regularly scheduled garbage collection day. Fees still apply to tires, electronics and appliance collection during those weeks.Official guidance

Where can Gastonia residents take what the city will not collect?

Construction and demolition material goes to the Gaston County Landfill at 3155 Philadelphia Church Road in Dallas, electronics go to the county recycling centres and the landfill, and household hazardous products go to the county's four collection events a year at 200 Leisure Lane in Dallas. The Recycling Hotline on 704-922-7729 covers all three.Official guidance
