The Town of Harrisburg offers bulk item pick-up on your scheduled trash collection day each week. Bulk item pick-up does not include yard waste collection - leaves, grass, limbs and brush.

Waste generated by private landscaping contractors will not be collected unless arranged by the homeowner for a fee. No debris created by commercial operations will be collected. Harrisburg Town Council reserves the right to change or amend these policies at any time.

Denied Service

If the homeowner does not comply with the guidelines outlined on this website, the yard debris and/or bulk items will not be collected and a notice will be left at the residence explaining why service was not completed. The homeowner may notify Customer Service when corrections are made, or to discuss other arrangements, by calling 704-455-5614.

Accepted Items

Bulk items that will be collected by scheduled pick-up are:

• Small amounts of carpet and padding
• White goods (washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers)
• Doors and windows
• Furniture including:
  • Beds
  • Lighting fixtures
  • Sofas
  • Tables
  • Lawn chairs

Metal Items

Note that all fluids must be drained. Large items such as playground equipment must be disassembled. Lawnmowers must be drained of all gas and oil. No rubber lawnmower tires will be picked up.

Not Accepted

The following bulk items will not be picked up:

• Household garbage
• Large cardboard boxes (break down flat and place in recycling bins for pick up)
• Tires, batteries, oil, paint or liquid toxic materials
• Dead animals
• Demolition debris, dirt, rock or brick, sod, pavement or concrete
• Electronics, such as computer monitors, televisions and vacuum cleaners

Fee

If bulk items equal less than a truckload, there is no charge. A full truckload (16 feet long by 6 feet wide by 4 feet high) costs $100.

Although it isn't necessary to request a bulk item pick-up since routes are ran every day/week and would be picked up on your normal household trash pick-up day, you are more than welcome to visit the New Request Site and use the following instructions to submit a request for bulk item pick-up:

1. Select "New Request" from the drop down menu.
2. Enter your information on the next page and choose "Continue." 
3. Choose "Be Sure Residential Bulk Pick Up" and please list "Bulk Item Pick Up -" and what bulk item(s) you need to be picked up in the box that is provided.
