Guilford County provides no curbside trash or recycling collection in unincorporated areas. Residents outside city limits must hire a county-licensed private hauler (Republic Services or GFL/Waste Industries) or self-haul to a disposal site. Only licensed collectors may operate.
Guilford County does not run a municipal garbage service for unincorporated homes. Instead it licenses private haulers, and residents choose the company whose pricing and service fits their needs. Under Solid Waste Ordinance Sec. 15.5-6, no one may operate as a collector without a county license. Two haulers are currently licensed: Republic Services and GFL Environmental (Waste Industries). Residents who prefer not to subscribe may self-haul household trash to a permitted transfer station or disposal site. Cities such as Greensboro and High Point provide their own curbside pickup on separate schedules for addresses inside their limits.
Operating as an unlicensed collector violates Sec. 15.5-6; dumping instead of proper disposal is a nuisance with fines from $150 to $3,000.
