The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Goldsboro collects refuse every week and recycling every other week from almost fourteen thousand households, and it adds two services on top at no extra cost: a bulk item pickup every Wednesday that a resident books by telephone, and a residential leaf and limb collection for single family homes with a four cubic yard limit and a three inch by four foot limit on limbs. The heavy work leaves the city. Wayne County runs the landfill that is the only place in the county that takes tires and the only place that takes construction debris, and the county charges a tipping fee for construction material while stating that no charge is incurred for recycled items, which is why scrap metal and white goods go to the landfill or to one of seven convenience centers and cross at no cost. The county landfill takes only waste generated in Wayne County, its convenience centers refuse contractors, commercial loads, box trucks, trailers longer than ten feet and heaping loads, and a resident hauling construction debris or tires goes to the main landfill in Dudley.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a residential collection rate, so confirm the monthly amount with the Solid Waste Division at 919-734-8674 or the city contact line at 919-580-4362.
When & how
Put the refuse out on the weekly collection day and the recycling out on its every other week day, following the city solid waste calendar for the address's collection zone.
Get it ready
Keep the refuse cart and the recycling cart to their own streams, because the city collects refuse weekly and recycling every other week with different trucks, and keep anything the city does not collect out of both carts rather than setting it out with the refuse.

City cost & eligibility

Get it ready
Cut limbs to no more than three inches in diameter and four feet in length and keep the pile inside four cubic yards, and remember that the residential service covers single family residences rather than commercial housing, apartment complexes or town house communities.
