Recycling in Greensboro, North Carolina

Greensboro's recycling cart is brown, and the list is short. Paper and cardboard, metal food and drink cans, and plastic bottles, tubs, and jugs. They have to be empty, clean, dry, and loose. Glass is not in the program. Three contaminated loads in six months and the city takes the cart. The set-out rule is 7 p.m., 7 a.m., and 7 p.m. again. North Carolina has no bottle deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Greensboro brown cart?

Only paper and cardboard, metal food and drink cans, and plastic bottles, tubs, and jugs. Empty, clean, dry, and loose. No bags. No more than two city recycling carts at the curb. Glass is a contaminant. Drivers can tag the address, and the city mails a postcard. A third bad load within six months means the cart is removed.

What is Greensboro's 7-7-7 rule?

Carts go out after 7 p.m. the night before, they are at the curb by 7 a.m., and they are back by 7 p.m. on collection day. The first time a cart is left out is a warning. After that, the city charges $25 each time a crew has to roll it back. Look the week up in GSO Collects. The printable calendars are red week and blue week.

Where does extra Greensboro recycling go?

The old overflow sites are gone. Two replacements take paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, and glass: the Solid Waste Transfer Station and the White Street Landfill. Dump the bag. Break boxes down before you arrive, because you cannot break them at the site. City residents are free with proof of residency. Non-residents pay $10. A second home cart is a fee through (336) 373-2489. A Monday holiday delays Monday and Tuesday by one day. A Friday holiday pulls Thursday and Friday one day earlier. A Wednesday holiday does not move the routes.
