The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Hampton runs its own weekly curbside service: the Solid Waste Division collects household waste, yard waste, scrap metal and bulky items from residences every week, with recycling on the alternate weeks. The city code defines bulk waste as the items that are too large or too heavy for the city toter, and it names appliances, sofas, mattresses and furniture, so a couch, a mattress or a refrigerator leaves on your regular trash day at no extra charge as long as the set out stays inside the weekly limit of ten cubic yards. Some items need work first: refrigerator doors have to come off, the refrigerant has to be removed from an appliance, yard waste has to go into clear bags, and nothing goes to the curb before 3 p.m. the day before. What the truck will not take has its own route. Computers, printers, phones and household chemicals go to the regional collection events the city runs with the Virginia Peninsulas Public Service Authority at the Coliseum parking lot, renovation material goes to the city landfill on North Park Lane with a valid building permit, and passenger tires are picked up as a separate curbside request after you call 311.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city collection service for a Hampton address that receives weekly solid waste collection, with no per-item charge published on the curbside route. Furniture counts toward the ten cubic yards of bulk waste allowed per service address each week, and business establishments that receive city refuse collection are served on the same terms.
When & how
Bulk waste is collected weekly on your trash day. Put it curbside no earlier than 3 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day, and keep it clear of the city toters.
Get it ready
Leave the piece in front of your own property with space around it, at least three feet from the toters and ten feet from parked vehicles. Bag household trash inside the toter instead of adding it to the pile, because trash in black plastic bags is not collected as bulk.
A mattress or box spring is bulk waste and leaves on your regular trash day. Both the city code bulk definition and the city bulk list name mattresses, so a household does not need a separate appointment for one.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city collection service for a Hampton address that receives weekly solid waste collection, up to the ten cubic yards of bulk waste allowed per service address each week. No per-item charge for a mattress is published.
When & how
Put the mattress out with the weekly bulk on your trash day, no earlier than 3 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and separate from yard waste, because the city asks residents not to merge bulk trash with yard waste, and leave space between it and the toters so the collector can reach it.
Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ranges and window air conditioners are bulk waste, collected weekly on your trash day. The city code asks for two steps before the unit goes out: the doors come off refrigerators, freezers and other airtight containers, and the refrigerant is removed from the appliance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city collection service for a Hampton address that receives weekly solid waste collection, within the ten cubic yards of bulk waste allowed per service address each week. No per-item charge for an appliance is published.
When & how
Set the appliance out with the weekly bulk on your trash day, no earlier than 3 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day, after the door and refrigerant steps are done.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, take the doors off an airtight box, and have the refrigerant removed before the appliance leaves the house, because both steps are required by the city code. Ask the 311 contact center if you are not sure how to handle a sealed unit first.
Computers, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines and phones go to the regional household chemical and computer recycling events instead of the curbside pile. The city and the Virginia Peninsulas Public Service Authority run the events for residents, and the contractor wipes every hard drive before equipment is reused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hampton residents bringing household quantities to the city and VPPSA collection events, where proof of residency may be requested and no residential fee is published. Business and medical material is not taken at the events and is directed to VPPSA at 757-259-9850 as a fee-based drop-off.
When & how
The Hampton events run at the Coliseum parking lot from 8 a.m. to noon on the published Saturdays, and the 2026 Hampton dates are March 21, May 16, July 18, September 19 and November 21. Store the equipment until the next event rather than setting it out on the curb.
Get it ready
Clear your personal files and back up what you need before the trip, then bring the equipment to the computer side of the event, where staff unload the vehicle. Keep electronics out of the toter and away from the curbside bulk pile.
A television is not named in the city bulk list, and televisions are listed as not accepted at the regional computer recycling events, so neither curbside day nor the city event is a settled route. A retailer drop-off is the practical local answer.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for a television, and its bulk list names furniture, sofas, appliances and mattresses rather than screens. The retailer alternative printed on the regional schedule carries its own per-item charge for monitors and televisions with size and daily limits, so confirm the current amount and the size rule before loading a vehicle, and ask the 311 contact center what the city will accept at the curb.
When & how
Ask the 311 contact center before a television goes out with the weekly bulk. The retailer drop-off runs during store hours, and the regional events run from 8 a.m. to noon on the published Saturdays but do not take televisions.
Get it ready
Settle the route before the item moves. If you use a retailer drop-off, check the size rule first: the schedule describes tube sets smaller than 31 inches and flat-panel LCD, plasma or LED sets smaller than 50 inches, with a limit of two items per household per day.
Building and construction material is not collected at the curb. The city code sends it to the landfill on North Park Lane, where a homeowner doing their own work can self-haul five pickup truck loads without a customer charge when the work has a valid city building permit and the material is self-hauled.
City cost & eligibility
The city charges no customer tipping fee for up to five self-hauled pickup truck loads of residential renovation debris when the work has a current paid city building permit in the resident's name, the permit shows the contractor as self, the material is self-hauled and identification with the same address is shown. Any other load pays the landfill's current public tipping rate, and no rate is published for a rented box or for material a contractor hauls.
When & how
The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to noon, closed Sunday. There is no weekly collection day for renovation material.
Get it ready
Keep renovation material out of the toter and out of the bulk pile, and bring the building permit and identification to the scale, because the addresses on the permit and the identification have to match. Debris from work done under a contract is the contractor's responsibility rather than part of the resident allowance.
Treadmills, ellipticals and weight machines are not named on the city bulk list and do not appear in the city code list of materials the city will not collect, so nothing published settles the question. Treat a machine as an unconfirmed item and get an answer before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
Hampton publishes no rate for exercise equipment. The Solid Waste Division and the 311 contact center answer at 3-1-1 in the city or 757-727-8311 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, so confirm acceptance and whether the machine counts as bulk before it is set out.
When & how
Call before the trash day you plan to use, then set the machine out with that week's bulk only if the city confirms it. Anything large enough to push the pile past the weekly allowance needs the city's answer first.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you call, and ask whether the motor and the electronics inside it change the answer. Keep it behind the curb with that week's bulk only after the city confirms the item.
Hampton collects bulk waste weekly on the trash day. That covers the household items too large or too heavy for the city toter, including furniture, sofas, appliances and mattresses, with ten cubic yards allowed per service address each week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city collection service for a Hampton address that receives weekly garbage collection, up to ten cubic yards of bulk waste per week per service address. Business establishments that receive city refuse collection are served on the same schedule, and no per-item charge is published.
When & how
Bulk waste goes out with the regular trash day, no earlier than 3 p.m. the day before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. When a collection day falls on a holiday, garbage, bulk trash, limbs, yard waste and tires are collected on the Wednesday of that week.
Get it ready
Keep bulk separate from yard waste and leave space between each item for the collectors. Household trash belongs bagged inside the city toter, the lid has to close, and trash in black plastic bags is not collected as bulk.
Tires are not part of the trash day pile. Passenger car and pickup truck tires from residential addresses are picked up as a separate curbside request on any weekday after you call the 311 contact center, and the code caps a household at five tires twice a year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with city residential collection service, with no per-tire fee published. Only Hampton residents who receive city garbage collection may set tires out, businesses and commercial customers cannot, and only passenger car and pickup truck tires are collected.
When & how
Tires are not collected on your assigned trash day. Put them curbside on any weekday and call 3-1-1 or 757-727-8311 to open a work request, and the division collects them within three business days.
Get it ready
Leave space between the tires and anything else at the curb, because a different vehicle collects them. Tires may be on or off the rim, a household can put out up to five at a time, and the annual total is ten. Large truck, tractor and off-road tires are not taken and stay the owner's responsibility.
Household trash is collected from the city-issued toter only, and the lid has to close with nothing sticking out. Once the container is full, a bag left beside it is an improper set out rather than a bulk item, and a pile the city has to clear is billed under the special collection fee.
City cost & eligibility
$250 per truck load under the city's special collection and disposal fee when material is left out that the routine collection does not cover, as set in the solid waste ordinance and summarized on the trash rules page. Hampton collection addresses. The charge applies when the city has to collect and dispose of material set out outside the normal program, including too much trash at the curb, eviction or move out debris left too long, or bulk waste over the weekly limit. The special collection can also be arranged in advance.
When & how
Put the toter out no earlier than 3 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. A second trash toter carries its own fee and is ordered through the 311 contact center at 3-1-1 or 757-727-8311.
Get it ready
Keep bagged trash inside the toter with the lid shut, and do not set bags out beside the container or add them to a bulk pile. Bagged trash stays in the container, the fines start with a written warning, and elderly or disabled residents can ask for the toter to be collected at the backyard instead.
Toters, bulk trash and yard waste go to the curb no earlier than 3 p.m. on the day before your collection day, and no later than 7 a.m. on the day itself. The city code also asks for the containers to come back in by midnight after collection. Set out inside that window, because material left out at other times is a violation and the fine schedule starts with a written warning.
Household trash goes out bagged inside the city-issued toter with the lid closed and nothing sticking out, and only city-provided containers are allowed. A second trash toter carries a fee and is ordered at 757-727-8311, and a pile the city has to clear at the curb is billed under the special collection and disposal fee. Trash in black plastic bags is not collected as bulk.
The city asks residents not to merge bulk trash with yard waste or bagged yard waste with piled branches, and each material is collected by a different vehicle, so leave space between the piles. Yard waste goes in clear plastic bags with no trash mixed in, and branches need to stay under 8 feet long and 6 inches in diameter with no more than ten cubic yards a week.
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.

Haul it to the city landfill on North Park Lane
A Hampton household that would rather drive a load of furniture, appliances, mattresses or renovation material than wait for the weekly truck.
Cost & conditions
The city does not publish a resident gate rate for a general load, while the landfill charges by load for material the resident allowance does not cover. Confirm the current rate for the exact load, and note that building materials are accepted only with a valid City of Hampton building permit.
Arrange it
Take the load to 100 North Park Lane during open hours, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to noon.

City of Hampton Public Works, Solid Waste Division
Bring computers and household chemicals to the collection events
A Hampton household with computers, monitors, printers, phones or household chemicals that must not go in the trash.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Hampton residents bringing household quantities to the city and VPPSA events, where proof of residency may be requested and no residential fee is published. Business and medical material is not taken at the events.
Arrange it
Drive to the Hampton Coliseum parking lot on Coliseum Drive between 8 a.m. and noon on a published event Saturday, and stay in the vehicle while staff unload it at the chemicals or computer side.
Separate drop points for chemicals and computers, events end at noon, and televisions, alkaline batteries, explosives and ammunition, household trash, business or medical waste, radioactive products and containers larger than 20 gallons are not accepted.
Use a retailer drop-off for a television or monitor
A household with a television or monitor that cannot go to the curb or to the regional collection events.
Cost & conditions
The retailer sets its own price and size rules for televisions and monitors. The regional schedule describes a per-item charge for monitors and televisions with a limit of two items per household per day, and computer components and mobile phones at no charge with a limit of three items per household per day. Confirm the current price and size rule before the trip.
Arrange it
Take the item to a participating retailer during store hours and hand it to the recycling counter.
The sizes and daily limits come from the schedule: tube televisions smaller than 31 inches and flat-panel LCD, plasma or LED sets smaller than 50 inches, two items per household per day. Other retailers and charities on the same list handle computer components rather than televisions.
A household or contractor with torn-out material or a load too big for one trip to the landfill.
Cost & conditions
No public rate covers a rented box, because a container company quotes its own price for the box, the haul and the disposal. Confirm the rate and the accepted material before ordering.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed container or hauling company to place the box, then have the same company collect it after the work.
The city does not collect renovation material at the curb, so a private box and the landfill are the local routes, and hazardous material still belongs at a household chemical collection.
