City collection A sofa or chair is named in the city's bulky item list, so household furniture goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day. Metal furniture is also collected at the household hazardous waste events. No furniture charge is published for the curbside bulky collection, and the hazardous waste events publish no charge for the metal furniture they take, so confirm the piece and any cost with Customer Service on 336-883-3111.
City collection A mattress is named in the city's bulky item list, so it goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day. No mattress charge is published. The bulky page describes the collection as a residential service without a per-item price, and the landfill bills white goods and bulky loads by weight, so confirm the item and any charge with Customer Service on 336-883-3111.
City collection Appliances are named in the city's bulky collection list, the Kersey Valley Landfill runs a white goods drop-off, and Guilford County takes scrap metal and white goods on Bishop Road. No page states how a cooling appliance is handled. No appliance price is published by the city or the county. A bulky collection carries no printed charge, the landfill bills by weight at $48 per ton plus a $2 per ton state tax with a $7.50 minimum for a pickup, SUV or trailer, and the county publishes no white goods rate, so confirm the unit on 336-883-3111 or with the site you choose.
City collection High Point collects household garbage once a week in a city-approved roll-out cart, and nothing outside the cart is collected. A household may set out a maximum of two carts. The city does not publish a monthly collection rate. A second 95-gallon cart costs $70 at the City Collector's office at 211 South Hamilton Street, carts carry a ten-year warranty with free repair while it lasts, and Customer Service on 336-883-3111 can confirm the current service terms and cart rules.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
High Point collects household garbage, recycling and bulky items on its own routes. A couch, mattress or appliance goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day, while televisions and computers never do, because North Carolina bars them from the landfill and the city will not pick them up. Both of those items have free drop-off sites in the city and in Jamestown, and paint, batteries and tires follow their own county routes.
High Point collects household garbage once a week in a city-approved roll-out cart, and nothing outside the cart is collected. A household may set out a maximum of two carts.
City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a monthly collection rate. A second 95-gallon cart costs $70 at the City Collector's office at 211 South Hamilton Street, carts carry a ten-year warranty with free repair while it lasts, and Customer Service on 336-883-3111 can confirm the current service terms and cart rules.
When & how
Set the cart out on your collection day. Collection begins at 6 a.m., and a cart that is not out when the truck passes waits for the next scheduled day.
Get it ready
Everything has to fit inside the cart with nothing left at the curb beside it. Paint cans are collected only when they are empty or the paint is fully dry with the lids off, and oil-based paint goes to a collection site instead. Sharps go in a Sharps container, which the city collects free when it is full.
Recycling is collected on the same weekly route as the garbage, and the city also runs drop-off points at fire stations and at the Material Recovery Facility. Plastic bags and film never go in a recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no separate recycling charge. Recycling carts carry the same ten-year warranty as the garbage carts, and a second garbage cart costs $70, so confirm the current cart and service terms on 336-883-3111.
When & how
Put the recycling cart out with the garbage cart on your collection day, or use a drop-off point during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Keep plastic grocery bags, bottle wrap, paper towel wrap, napkins, tissue and bubble wrap out of the cart and out of every city drop-off, and take them back to a store instead. Electronics and batteries do not belong in a recycling cart either.
The city collects large household items occasionally on the recycling day, and the bulky list names sofas, chairs, mattresses, carpet and appliances. The program is for a household's own occasional items, not a whole-house clean out.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky page publishes no per-item charge, and no solid waste rate is printed, so confirm the pile and any charge with Customer Service on 336-883-3111. The only published household solid waste cost is $70 for a second garbage cart.
When & how
Bulky items go out on your recycling day and the truck starts at 6 a.m. Anything not out when it passes waits for the next scheduled pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep limbs, yard waste and recyclables out of the pile or the whole pile can be refused. Resident-generated lumber has to be cut to pieces no longer than 8 feet, and anything a contractor produced has to be removed by that contractor.
A sofa or chair is named in the city's bulky item list, so household furniture goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day. Metal furniture is also collected at the household hazardous waste events.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture charge is published for the curbside bulky collection, and the hazardous waste events publish no charge for the metal furniture they take, so confirm the piece and any cost with Customer Service on 336-883-3111.
When & how
Put the furniture out with the bulky items on your recycling day, or take metal furniture to a scheduled household hazardous waste event.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of a load of yard waste or recyclables, and keep a whole-house clean out off the curb, because the bulky program is meant for occasional items. Furniture a contractor removed from a property is the contractor's to dispose of.
A mattress is named in the city's bulky item list, so it goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress charge is published. The bulky page describes the collection as a residential service without a per-item price, and the landfill bills white goods and bulky loads by weight, so confirm the item and any charge with Customer Service on 336-883-3111.
When & how
Put the mattress out with the bulky items by 6 a.m. on your recycling day, or take it to the landfill during its weekday hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, put it out with the bulky pile rather than in or beside a cart, and keep it away from yard waste and recyclables. A mattress that is not out when the truck passes waits for the next scheduled day.
Appliances are named in the city's bulky collection list, the Kersey Valley Landfill runs a white goods drop-off, and Guilford County takes scrap metal and white goods on Bishop Road. No page states how a cooling appliance is handled.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance price is published by the city or the county. A bulky collection carries no printed charge, the landfill bills by weight at $48 per ton plus a $2 per ton state tax with a $7.50 minimum for a pickup, SUV or trailer, and the county publishes no white goods rate, so confirm the unit on 336-883-3111 or with the site you choose.
When & how
Put the appliance out with the bulky items on your recycling day, or take it to the landfill between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, or to the county facility between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors before it leaves the property. Ask about a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that still holds refrigerant, because none of the pages reviewed says how a cooling appliance is handled and the landfill refuses liquid hazardous waste.
Televisions and computers are banned from North Carolina landfills, and the city refuses them at the curb. The city and county run free drop-off sites instead, and electronics must never go in a recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free drop-off for households at the designated sites: the High Point Material Recovery Facility at 5875 Riverdale Drive in Jamestown and the unstaffed Ingleside trailer at 3001 Ingleside Drive. Confirm the hours on 336-883-3623 or 336-883-3111 before travelling.
When & how
Drop off during site hours. The Material Recovery Facility is open Monday to Thursday, and the Ingleside trailer Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house, because the city says hard drives are shredded by a certified e-cycler with a certificate of destruction available. Keep the device out of every cart, since compacting a lithium battery can start a truck fire.
Material from work a resident does can go out as bulky collection if it is cut small, but anything a contractor produces has to be removed by that contractor. The city landfill takes residential and commercial waste by weight and publishes no demolition category.
City cost & eligibility
No construction rate is published. Resident lumber rides the bulky collection, and a load taken to Kersey Valley Landfill is billed at $48 per ton plus a $2 per ton state tax, with a $7.50 minimum for a pickup, SUV or trailer and a $2 minimum for a car, so confirm the load and the classification on 336-883-3435.
When & how
Small resident material goes out with the bulky collection on your recycling day. A larger load goes to the landfill between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and a contractor-managed project arranges its own disposal.
Get it ready
Cut resident lumber to pieces no longer than 8 feet and keep it separate from the rest of the pile. Keep paint, chemicals, batteries, motor oil, antifreeze and other liquid hazardous material out of a landfill load, because the landfill refuses them.
No High Point page names a treadmill, elliptical or home gym. A machine that will not fit in the cart is household large-item material, so the bulky collection is the likely route and the machine has to be confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine price is published. The bulky collection carries no printed charge and the landfill bills by weight, so confirm the machine, its weight and any cost with Customer Service on 336-883-3111 before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it out with the bulky items by 6 a.m. on your recycling day.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine where the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item. Describe the machine and its weight when you call, because an unusually large or heavy item may need a different arrangement.
A couch, mattress, appliance or cut-up resident lumber goes out with the occasional bulky collection on your recycling day, not on a separate appointment. The truck starts at 6 a.m., the pile has to be out when it passes, and yard waste, limbs and recyclables have to stay out of it.
The city is not allowed to collect tires, and it will not collect televisions or computers, because North Carolina bans those devices from the landfill. Tires go to the Guilford County collection facility on Bishop Road or a household hazardous waste event, and electronics go to a free drop-off site or one of those events.
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.
City of High Point Environmental Services with Guilford County collection sites
Use the city bulky collection
A High Point household with an occasional large item such as a sofa, mattress, appliance, carpet or resident lumber.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no per-item charge for a bulky collection and no monthly solid waste rate on the pages reviewed, so confirm the pile and any cost with Customer Service on 336-883-3111. A second garbage cart is the only published household cost at $70.
Arrange it
Put the items out with the recyclables on your collection day and have the pile ready by 6 a.m., because the truck will not come back for anything it missed.
Occasional household items only, so a whole-house clean out is not covered. Yard waste, limbs and recyclables in the pile can void the collection, resident lumber must be cut to 8 feet or less, and contractor waste has to be removed by the contractor.
City of High Point Environmental Services with Guilford County collection sites
Use a household hazardous waste event
A High Point household with paint, chemicals, batteries, a broken appliance, scrap metal or metal furniture.
Cost & conditions
Neither the city page nor the county material states a fee for the High Point events or for the county collection center on Patterson Avenue, so confirm the current terms with the county center or with the city before loading. Business waste, asbestos, explosives, infectious waste, radioactive material and general household trash are refused.
Arrange it
High Point holds its events at 1401 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, entered from Hoskins Street, and the site is closed to the public on other days. The published 2026 dates are May 16 and November 14 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., so check the current schedule before loading. The county center at 2750 Patterson Avenue is open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Events only on their scheduled days, and the list of what is taken changes, so confirm the item first. Metal furniture and broken appliances are on the event list; ordinary household trash is not, and refrigerant appliances still have to be confirmed.
High Point residents have four self-haul routes that cover most of what a curbside cart cannot take. Appliances, mattresses and other bulky items can go to the Kersey Valley Landfill white goods and bulky drop-off during its weekday hours, billed by weight. Televisions, computers and other electronics go free to the Material Recovery Facility in Jamestown or the unstaffed trailer at Ingleside. Paint, chemicals, batteries and tires wait for a household hazardous waste event at 1401 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or go to the Guilford County center on Patterson Avenue in Greensboro, and the county's Bishop Road facility takes scrap metal and white goods. Hours and event dates change, so call before you load.

2138 Bishop Road, Greensboro, NC 27406
Scrap metal and white goods, including appliances, and scrap tires under the county's tire program.
The county asks customers to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing, and the page publishes tire allowances and fees but no white goods rate. Tires carry per-household limits and charges that are outside this guide's services.
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The city's facility guide prints these hours as 4 a.m., which is a typo that the county page corrects to 4 p.m.
The county publishes tire fees on its scrap tire page but no white goods rate, so confirm the appliance and any charge on (336) 641-9431.
