You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
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.

A mattress and a box spring are both standard items on the town's Monday bulk list, so they go out with the separate Public Works pickup rather than with the household cart, priced as two items in the same request.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard bulk items in one Monday request, which is also the minimum charge for any request, with each additional standard item charged on its own line. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only. The town does not offer bulk pickup at apartment complexes, businesses or corporations, or at any address outside the town limits, and the request has to be scheduled and paid before midnight on Sunday.
When & how
Collected on Mondays starting at 7 a.m., and moved to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday. Book and pay through the town's online bulk item and brush pile request form by the Sunday midnight deadline so the pieces make that week's run.
Get it ready
Have the mattress and box spring at the curb by 7 a.m. and at least three feet from carts, mailboxes, poles and vehicles. Count the pieces as separate items when you price the request, and keep the load to a few pieces, because the town states that a request it considers too large will be refused.
Couches, love seats, chairs, desks, dining tables, dressers, hutches, lamps and metal or plastic outdoor furniture are standard items on the town's Monday bulk list, while a sectional sofa is priced as an oversized piece.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard furniture pieces in one Monday request, with a sectional sofa charged as an oversized item on its own line. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only, with the request submitted and paid before midnight on Sunday. Apartment complexes, businesses and addresses outside the town limits are not served.
When & how
Collected on Mondays starting at 7 a.m., moved to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday, and scheduled through the town form before the Sunday midnight deadline.
Get it ready
Take the piece down as far as it will go and keep cushions with the frame. Leave treated wood and treated wooden outdoor furniture off the pile, because the town refuses treated wood of any kind, and remember that two chairs or two small tables count as one item while a three cushion sofa counts as one sofa.
Appliances sit on two price lines for the town's Monday bulk pickup. A dishwasher, microwave, mini-fridge, range top, water heater or window air conditioner is a standard item, while a stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer or chest freezer is oversized and priced by itself.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard appliances in one Monday request, which is also the minimum charge for any request, with oversized appliances such as a stove, refrigerator, washing machine, dryer or chest freezer charged on their own line. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only, with the request submitted and paid before midnight on Sunday. Apartment complexes, businesses and addresses outside the town limits are not served.
When & how
Collected on Mondays starting at 7 a.m., moved to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday. Empty the unit, then set it at the curb with the doors removed or secured before the Sunday midnight booking deadline.
Get it ready
A refrigerator is limited to 36 inches and a chest freezer to 8.7 cubic feet, 100 pounds and about 41 by 34 by 24 inches, and both go out with the doors removed or secured and the interior emptied. Confirm refrigerant handling with Public Works at 704-875-7007 before the pickup, and keep gas cans, paint cans and hazardous material off the load.
A flat screen LCD or LED television is a standard item on the town's Monday bulk list, and electronics are named among the household bulk items the town accepts. Projection tube and rear projection televisions are refused, and the county drop-off centers are the route for those and for computer equipment.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard bulk items in one Monday request, with a flat screen television counted as one standard item. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only for the curbside route, with the request paid before midnight on Sunday. County drop-off centers serve county residents with a free entry sticker and proof of residency.
When & how
Out on the Monday bulk run with the town, or dropped at a Mecklenburg County full-service center any Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nothing electronic goes in the household cart or the recycling cart.
Get it ready
Keep the set dry and keep televisions out of both carts. A projection tube or rear projection model does not belong on the town load, so confirm with the county center before you haul it, and expect computer equipment to be limited to two pieces per visit.
Construction and demolition material is not household waste for the town. It cannot go in a cart or on a bulk request, and the town's refusal list names concrete, brick, block, shingles, sheet rock, lumber, flooring, carpet, tile, treated wood and pallets.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes no rate because it does not collect the material, and the county prints its construction and demolition fees on a separate fee document rather than on the pages reviewed, so confirm the current charge at the fee booth before you load.
When & how
Drop-off at a Mecklenburg County full-service center Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no curbside collection day for this material.
Get it ready
Separate construction and demolition material from yard waste and bulky trash before you arrive, because the county does not accept mixed loads and charges a mixed load at the construction rate. Keep the trailer within the published limits, since a trailer over 12 feet is redirected away from the North Mecklenburg and Hickory Grove centers.
Metal exercise equipment is named on the town's standard bulk list, so a treadmill frame, weight machine or similar piece goes out with the Monday pickup inside the usual two item charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard bulk items in one Monday request, with metal exercise equipment counted as one standard item. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only, with the request submitted and paid before midnight on Sunday. Apartment complexes, businesses and addresses outside the town limits are not served.
When & how
Collected on Mondays starting at 7 a.m., moved to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday, and booked through the town form before the Sunday midnight deadline.
Get it ready
Drain any water or oil reservoir, take off loose parts that could shift, and bring help because the town does not unload for you. Ask Public Works about a machine that is mostly plastic or has an electronic console, since the published line covers metal exercise equipment.
Tires are on the town's refusal list, so they cannot go out with the carts or on a bulk request. Mecklenburg County accepts tires at its full-service drop-off centers with a limit of five tires per visit.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes its disposal fees on a separate document rather than on the pages reviewed, so confirm the current tire charge at the fee booth along with the five tire limit before you load.
When & how
Drop-off at a county full-service center Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no curbside tire collection in Huntersville.
Get it ready
Count the tires before you leave, because the published limit is five per visit, and keep them off the town bulk pile and out of the carts. A vehicle delivering tires for a business has separate county permit requirements, which do not apply to a household load.
The town runs a separate residential bulk and brush pickup on Mondays for a fee, priced by standard items, oversized items and brush or leaf loads, and it has to be scheduled and paid before midnight on Sunday.
City cost & eligibility
From $40 for for two standard bulk items in one Monday request, which is also the minimum charge for any request, with each additional standard item, each oversized item and each brush and leaf load priced on its own line. Town of Huntersville residential addresses only. The town does not serve apartment complexes, businesses or corporations, or any address outside the town limits, and a request it considers too large is refused.
When & how
Mondays starting at 7 a.m., moved to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday, with the request submitted and paid through the town form by the Sunday midnight deadline.
Get it ready
Have everything at the curb by 7 a.m. and clear of carts, mailboxes, poles, vehicles, sidewalks and gutters, with brush in one neat pile no larger than ten feet by ten feet by five feet and five to six feet of clearance under trees and power lines. Leaves go in brown paper bags of 25 to 35 gallons, and a cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup brings a refund within 60 days.
Bulk pickup runs on Mondays and is booked by Sunday midnight
The town's bulk and brush service collects on Mondays starting at 7 a.m., and it moves to Tuesday when a holiday falls on a Monday. The request and the payment have to be made through the town's online form before midnight on Sunday, and a request that is cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup brings a refund within 60 days.
Three feet from obstacles and five feet under the branches
Place bulk items and brush piles at least three feet from carts, mailboxes, power poles, vehicles and other obstacles, and keep brush five to six feet away from overhead trees and power lines. Nothing may block a sidewalk, roadway or gutter, and leaves go out only in brown paper bags holding 25 to 35 gallons and no more than 25 pounds each.
Carts go curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day with three feet of space between carts and four feet of clearance from mailboxes, poles, hydrants, trees and cars. Close the lid with the hinge away from the road, bag the trash, keep plastic bags and film out of the recycling cart, and break cardboard down to three feet by three feet so the lid shuts.
A cart that breaks the published rules is tagged as non-compliant and is not collected. Once the cart is brought into line it is collected on the next regular pickup, and leaving carts at the curb until then can draw a fee.
Weekly garbage and yard waste, recycling every other week
Waste Connections collects garbage and yard waste every week and recycling every other week, with the day looked up on the hauler schedule. Three holidays move the week: New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day delay collection by one day when they fall on a weekday, a Friday holiday moves pickup to Saturday, and a holiday on a weekend changes nothing.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Huntersville.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Huntersville?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Will Huntersville take a mattress at the curb?+
Yes, but not with the household cart. A mattress and a box spring are standard items on the town's Monday bulk list, collected by Public Works, and the request has to be scheduled and paid through the town form before midnight on Sunday. Apartment complexes, businesses and addresses outside the town limits are not served.Official guidance
Do a mattress and box spring count as one item or two?+
They are separate items on the town list, and the published charge covers two standard items in one request, so setting out both in the same week is the inexpensive way to do it. A second mattress or extra bedding would be priced as an additional item.Official guidance
How does a couch get picked up in Huntersville?+
A sofa or couch is a standard item on the town's Monday bulk list, and the published charge covers two standard items in a single request, so a couch and a chair can travel together. A sectional sofa is treated as oversized and priced on its own line, and the request has to be paid before midnight on Sunday.Official guidance
What furniture does the town refuse?+
Treated wood is refused, including treated wooden outdoor furniture, playsets and wooden pallets, along with rugs, carpet and flooring. Metal or plastic outdoor furniture is on the accepted list, so check the material before you add a piece to the pile.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go to the curb in Huntersville?+
Yes, as an oversized item on the town's Monday bulk list, up to 36 inches, with the interior emptied and the doors removed or secured. A chest freezer is capped at 8.7 cubic feet and 100 pounds, and a larger freezer is refused. Confirm refrigerant handling with Public Works before the pickup.Official guidance
Which appliances count as standard items?+
A dishwasher, microwave, mini-fridge, range top, water heater and window unit air conditioner are standard items, so two of them fit one published charge. A stove, refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, chest freezer, hot tub or riding lawn mower is oversized and priced on its own line.Official guidance
Will Huntersville take a television with the bulk pickup?+
A flat screen LCD or LED television is on the town's standard bulk list, so it goes out with a Monday request inside the two item charge. Projection tube and rear projection televisions are on the town's refusal list, so those need the county route instead.Official guidance
Where do electronics and a refused television go in Mecklenburg County?+
The county full-service drop-off centers accept electronics, and computer equipment such as CPUs, monitors, laptops and printers with a limit of two pieces per visit. County residents show a free blue entry sticker and proof of residency, and the pages read here do not say whether a television carries a charge, so confirm at the fee booth.Official guidance
Can construction debris go to the curb in Huntersville?+
No. The town states that construction debris is not household waste, names it among the materials it will not collect, and treats demolition material the same way. Concrete, brick, block, shingles, sheet rock, lumber, flooring, carpet, treated wood, dirt, rock, sod and tree stumps are all refused at the curb.Official guidance
Where does construction and demolition debris go?+
To a Mecklenburg County full-service center, where construction and demolition debris is accepted and fees apply to the load. Separate it from yard waste and bulky trash, because mixed loads are charged at the construction rate, and confirm the current fee at the booth before you haul.Official guidance
Is a treadmill or weight machine a bulk item in Huntersville?+
Metal exercise equipment is on the town's standard bulk list, so it counts as one of the two items in a published request. Confirm with Public Works first if the machine is mostly plastic or includes a console, because the accepted line names metal equipment and the town refuses electronics with hazardous parts.Official guidance
Where can I take old tires near Huntersville?+
Mecklenburg County accepts tires at its full-service drop-off centers, with a published limit of five tires per visit, and the North Mecklenburg center on Statesville Road is the closest of the four. The town refuses tires at the curb, and the fee is published on a separate county document, so confirm the charge at the booth.Official guidance
Where does a whole house clean-out go in Huntersville?+
Not through the town bulk service, which is meant for a few large items and says a request it considers too large will be refused. A clean-out usually means repeated county drop-off trips, where bulky waste carries a fee, or a private hauler, which the town lists as an option alongside extra carts.Official guidance
When do I have to book and pay for a bulk pickup?+
Before midnight on Sunday for that week's Monday run, through the town's online bulk item and brush pile request form. Payment is by credit card online or in cash or by check at Town Hall, and a Monday holiday moves the pickup to Tuesday.Official guidance
How do I arrange a bulk pickup in Huntersville?+
Complete the town's online bulk item and brush pile request form and pay before midnight on Sunday for that week's Monday run. The service is for town residential addresses, it is separate from the weekly cart service, and apartment complexes, businesses and addresses outside the town limits are not served.Official guidance
Who do I call when a Huntersville cart is missed?+
Call Waste Connections on 704-596-9428 or email their customer service address, which is where the town directs cart, recycling and yard waste questions. A cart that was tagged as non-compliant was skipped on purpose, and it is collected on the next regular pickup once it meets the published rules.Official guidance
When are garbage, recycling and yard waste collected in Huntersville?+
Garbage and yard waste are collected every week and recycling every other week, with the day found on the hauler's schedule. New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day push the rest of that week back one day when they fall on a weekday, and a holiday on a weekend does not change the schedule.Official guidance
