Forsyth County provides no curbside bulk pickup. Bulky waste like appliances and furniture goes through your private hauler or is self-hauled to a county disposal facility. Dumping bulk items on public or private property is illegal and heavily fined.
Bulky waste is defined by county code as items that exceed the capacity of normal trash containers, including appliances, furniture, crates, and corrugated cardboard. Forsyth County does not collect these at the curb; residents arrange bulk removal with their private hauler or self-haul to an approved facility. Household hazardous waste, electronics, paint, and tires are excluded from general disposal and handled separately, some carrying drop-off fees. Refrigerant must be professionally removed from appliances before disposal. Dumping bulky items along a roadside or on vacant land is illegal dumping, prosecuted as littering.
Littering ten pounds or less is a misdemeanor; over ten pounds or 15 cubic feet carries a $1,000 fine per occurrence plus cleanup costs.
