Durham County Solid Waste Collections

Durham City, Department of Solid Waste Management

560-1200

Residential garbage within city limits is collected at curbside once a week from roll-out green containers, which are provided to customers at no cost. Citizens who are physically unable to move a roll-out cart to the curb may have their refuse collected from a designated area by City roll-out cart collection crews. Roll-out cart collections crews also monitor refuse for recyclables that are banned at the City solid waste disposal facilities.

Yard waste is collected once a week on the same day as garbage collection at curbside from special brown carts, which must be purchased from the City for $44, plus $60 annual fee. Yard Waste Collection is designed to redirect debris from the waste stream by recycling it to a re-usable earth product.

Bulky items, such as large household appliances and furniture can be picked up by a boom truck for a $20 fee. Call 560-4186 for information on disposing of household hazardous wastes.
