The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Renovation debris is refused by the curbside garbage, bulk and recycling collection, and the town sends lumber, fencing, metal, building materials, dirt, rocks and contractor's debris to a Mecklenburg County full-service center.
City cost & eligibility
At a Mecklenburg County full-service center a load of construction and demolition material that fits under three cubic yards is $25 per unit for county residents with the free entry sticker, and a weighed load has a $26 minimum at $65 per ton. Prepayment or a weigh-in applies, the maximum delivery to a full-service site is 14 cubic yards, and larger loads must go to the Foxhole Landfill.
When & how
Deliver the material to a county full-service center, or to the Foxhole Landfill when the load is larger than 14 cubic yards. The centers are listed as open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the county information line is 980-314-3867.
Get it ready
Separate construction and demolition material from household trash and from yard waste, because the county prices them in different groups. Carpet and padding count as construction material, clean unpainted drywall is recycled at the full-service sites, and small quantities of dirt, sod and concrete go to the Foxhole Landfill from residential customers only. Nothing generated by a business or a contractor can use the residential route.
A Mecklenburg County full-service center prices a residential load by its group, so bring the free blue resident entry sticker from the fee booth and keep bulky waste, construction and demolition material, yard waste and electronics apart. One large bulky item such as a sofa, chair, table or mattress set is free, a larger bulky load under three cubic yards is charged per unit, and a weighed load has a minimum. The current hours should be confirmed at 980-314-3867 before the trip.
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.

Anything the bulk stream refuses, including televisions, computers, tires, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, construction and demolition material and household hazardous waste, moves through a Mecklenburg County full-service center instead, where a free resident entry sticker sets the fee group and household hazardous waste is free. The county sites are listed as open Monday through Saturday, and larger renovation loads have to go to the Foxhole Landfill.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Matthews.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Matthews?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Matthews?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Can I put renovation debris out for collection in Matthews?+
No. Lumber, fencing, metal, building materials, dirt, rocks and contractor's debris are banned from North Carolina landfills and are refused by the curbside garbage, bulk and recycling collection, so they go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center instead. A load under three cubic yards is charged per unit and a weighed load has a minimum, with loads over 14 cubic yards going to the Foxhole Landfill.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
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
