Guilford County operates a Scrap Tire & White Goods Collection Facility at 2138 Bishop Road, Greensboro, open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. It accepts white goods (stoves, washers, dryers, refrigerators, water heaters, freezers, air conditioners, furnaces, dishwashers, microwaves, lawn mowers with fluids removed, and grills without fuel canisters) at no charge, with no appointment needed. Bulk household trash (couches, mattresses) and construction/demolition debris are taken to a permitted solid-waste transfer station for a fee. For unincorporated homes, bulk collection is otherwise arranged through your licensed private hauler; cities like Greensboro and High Point offer separate bulk-item pickup for residents inside their limits.
Dumping bulky items or appliances on land or in open areas is a public nuisance under Ch. 15.5, with civil penalties of $150-$500 (residential) up to $3,000 (commercial).
