Services

Bulky Items Pickup

Bulk trash pick-up is intended for the occasional collection of large items, such as a sofa, chair, mattresses, carpet, appliances, etc. It is not intended for a whole house clean out.

Dead Animal Pick-Up

It shall be unlawful to place dead animals at curbside prior to scheduling for collection by city forces. This service is provided 5 days a week during normal business hours.

Household Garbage

Household garbage is picked up once a week. Customers must use a City-approved roll-out garbage cart. Solid waste collection begins at 7 a.m.

Medical & Hazardous Waste

Needles and syringes should not be placed in the garbage or recycling carts. Also, certain household wastes are not accepted in your roll-out cart, because they can be hazardous to our environment and our collection workers.

Recycling Carts

Recyclables will be picked up every other week from the curb on your regular garbage collection day. The City is providing 95-gal recycling carts to residents. These carts belong to the City and must remain with the house they have been assigned to. If you move, leave the cart behind.

Yard Waste

Yard waste collection begins at 7 a.m. Roll-out containers which are not out when the truck passes, will not be collected until the next regularly scheduled pickup day.

Electronics Recycling

The City of High Point and Guilford County offer multiple sites for city residents to drop-off their old electronics. We will take all computer equipment (desktops, laptops, printers, etc.) and televisions off your hands, as well as most electronic items with a cord for recycling!
