Greensboro, North Carolina runs one of the more thoughtful municipal waste systems in the Piedmont. Bulk trash collection is included in the standard service, picked up every other week on the same day as recycling, with no separate fee or appointment for routine items. Appliances are handled separately by appointment. Glass is no longer accepted in curbside recycling and goes to drop-off bins. The Recycle Right contamination program is strict: three contamination tags within six months results in cart removal. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Greensboro residents.
The Greensboro rule for construction debris: Construction debris is not bulk trash. The White Street Landfill and the Transfer Station take it for a fee.
What the city will not take: Tires (Guilford County Scrap Tire and White Goods facility, 5 free a year), electronics (banned from North Carolina landfills; HHW Collection Center takes them free), construction debris, and hazardous waste.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Greensboro Solid Waste and Recycling FAQs, City of Greensboro: White Street Landfill accepted materials, Guilford County Solid Waste Services Guide (Greensboro collection and Bishop Road facility). Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
LoadUp paid construction debris pickup
$80+For Greensboro households that need same-week or in-home pickup, crew labor, or items the city won’t take, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Greensboro area for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your construction debris. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.
