A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Large household items

Accepted with preparation

Matthews has an on-call curbside bulk service rather than a set collection day. Household items too large for the garbage cart, non-spoilable, are collected on the regular trash day once the pickup is booked and paid for.

City cost & eligibility
One item up to the size of a standard couch up to 84 inches is $25.00, two to five items are $50.00, and appliances are $25.00 each, paid through Waste Pro when the pickup is scheduled. A county full-service center charges nothing for a single large bulky item with the free resident entry sticker, $15 per unit for a larger bulky load under three cubic yards, and $65 per ton with a $22 minimum for a weighed load.
When & how
Book the pickup with Waste Pro at 980-325-3640 for collection on the household's regular trash day, or take the load to a county full-service center, which is listed as open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the load non-spoilable and free of household hazardous waste, electronics, batteries and construction and demolition material, because the bulk stream refuses all four. Place items where they do not block the carts, the sidewalk or the street.
Matthews collection servicesTown bulk pickupCounty resident disposal fees

Tires

Special rules apply

Tires are banned from North Carolina landfills and refused by the curbside collection, so they go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center, where the first few are free and the rest are charged per tire.

City cost & eligibility
$2.5 per tire after the first five, which are free, with tires on rims at $3.50 each and tires between 20 and 26 inches at $7.00 each. Mecklenburg County residents at the full-service centers, with the free blue resident entry sticker. Tires must be under 20 inches bead diameter except for the larger size band, and a maximum of 15 automotive and light truck tires is accepted per load without prior county approval.
When & how
Take the tires to a Mecklenburg County full-service center, with 8007 Pence Road in Charlotte listed by the town as the closest to Matthews. The centers are listed as open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Confirm whether the tires are on rims and measure them first, because the county prices loose tires, tires on rims and tires between 20 and 26 inches differently. Excessively dirty tires can draw an extra fee, and no tire may go in the garbage cart.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Matthews.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Matthews?

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.

How many bulk items can I put out in Matthews?

There is no fixed weekly limit, because the curbside service is on call rather than a set day. A single item and a set of two to five items each have their own published price, and the pickup has to be scheduled and paid for with Waste Pro before the items go out on the regular trash day. A county full-service center takes one large bulky item free with the resident entry sticker and charges per unit once the load is larger.Official guidance

Where can I take old tires in Matthews?

To a Mecklenburg County full-service center, since tires are banned from North Carolina landfills and the curbside collection will not take them. The first five tires are free for county residents, then the charge is per tire, with tires on rims and tires between 20 and 26 inches priced higher and a maximum of 15 automotive or light truck tires per load.Official guidance

Who collects garbage and bulk items in Matthews?

Waste Pro collects for the whole town under a contract that started in July 2023: garbage once a week, recycling every other week on the regular pickup day, yard waste weekly, and bulk waste or white goods on call. Bulk pickups have to be scheduled and paid for with Waste Pro at 980-325-3640, and a broken or additional cart also goes through the company. Items banned from North Carolina landfills, such as electronics, tires and construction material, go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center instead.Official guidance

What does a bulk pickup cost in Matthews?

A single item up to the size of a standard couch up to 84 inches carries the one-item price, a set of two to five items carries the set price, and appliances are charged per unit. The pickup is scheduled and paid for in advance with Waste Pro, and the items go out on the regular trash day. A Mecklenburg County full-service center charges nothing for a single large bulky item such as a sofa or mattress set when the free resident entry sticker is displayed.Official guidance

Do I need a sticker to use the Mecklenburg County centers?

Yes. Every residential vehicle displays an entry sticker, and the blue rectangle sticker is free to Mecklenburg County residents and does not expire. It is issued at the cashier booth at each full-service center. A vehicle without a sticker is charged at the out-of-county rate, which is an annual badge. The sticker also sets which fee group a load falls into.Official guidance
