  • Weight limits and fees will apply to the collection of bulk goods. If a customer fills a truck with bulky items to such an extent that it requires a trip to the landfill, the customer will be required to pay for the tipping fee and mileage which will be assessed at the current rate. 

  • Unacceptable bulky, unapproved electronics, or banned landfill items items will not be collected. The citizen must take to the landfill for disposal themselves.

  • Approved electronics or large loads - please contact Public Works for an appointment.

  • After notification and scheduling with Public Works, a truck will be delivered and, at the discretion of the Public Works Director, loaded by the resident. A service fee will be assessed as listed in a fee schedule approved by the Town Council. Each resident must complete and sign a Town of Wilkesboro Truck Policy Statement.
