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.

The weekly bulky collection takes anything too large, heavy or bulky for the green cart, at a fee based on weight. Two weeks each year the city collects excess household trash at no charge, but only on the resident's regularly scheduled collection day.
City cost & eligibility
From $15 for for excess household trash up to 100 pounds on the bulky collection, with material over 100 pounds charged more, as set in the adopted city fee schedule. City of Gastonia residential addresses served by the weekly curbside collection. The fee is waived during the free excess trash weeks, and tires, electronics and appliances keep their own charges during those weeks.
When & how
Bulky items go out with the weekly residential collection, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before. Holiday weeks shift residential garbage by one business day.
Get it ready
Bag small items, bag sheetrock and insulation, and cut floor covering into four foot lengths, rolled and tied. Keep yard waste, recyclables and the refused list out of the bulky pile, and check the waste app or the city calendar before a holiday week.
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.
Bulky pickup is a paid service with two free weeks
The city charges excess household trash by weight band on the bulky collection, and each year two weeks collect that material at no charge, but only on the resident's regularly scheduled collection day. Tires, electronics and appliance collection keep their own charges even during the free weeks.
Bag clothing and other small items, bag sheetrock and insulation, and cut floor covering into four foot lengths, rolled and tied. Glass has to go out unbroken with duct tape forming an X from corner to corner, and yard waste, recyclables and the refused list stay out of the bulky pile.
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.

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.
