Welcome to Solid Waste

Our Solid Waste Program provides waste collection and disposal options for Guilford County residents. Staff also investigate and address illegal dumping and cleanup, perform landfill inspections, promote recycling opportunities, and research and provide options for future solid waste needs.

A complete guide to community solid waste services in Guilford County is now available. The guide provides a comprehensive listing of responsible solid waste disposal and recycling options from which County residents can choose, including information relating specifically to services provided by Greensboro, High Point and surrounding communities. Click here to view or print this informative guide.

Public Notice: Effective immediately, the Guilford County Scrap Tire and White Goods Collection Facility will no longer be open the first Saturday of each month. The expanded hours were designed to provide residents with easier access to the recycling services available to them without the commercial traffic that frequents the facility on weekdays. However, the lack of public use of the facility on these Saturdays has led to the decision to return to the original hours of operation: Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. For questions or additional information, please contact the facility at (336) 294-9431.
