Recycling in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Winston-Salem gives houses and eligible small businesses a blue 96-gallon cart and collects it every other week, on a red week or a blue week. Paper, magazines, flattened cardboard, plastic bottles, glass jars, and steel and aluminum cans go in together. Plastic bags, greasy pizza boxes, and wide-mouth tubs do not. The cart is at the curb by 6 a.m., with 3 feet of clearance. North Carolina has no bottle deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Winston-Salem blue cart?

Paper, magazines, flattened cardboard, plastic bottles, glass jars, and steel and aluminum cans. Homes do not sort them. Leave out plastic bags, trash, greasy pizza boxes, deli containers, margarine tubs, ice cream pails, drinking glasses, dishes, Pyrex, mirrors, window glass, Styrofoam, books, binders, spiral notebooks, light bulbs, and containers that held antifreeze, motor oil, paint, pesticides, or other hazardous products.

When do I set the Winston-Salem cart out?

By 6 a.m. on collection day, at the curb or the edge of the road, at least 3 feet from cars, trees, and other carts. Businesses have the same 6 a.m. rule. Recycling is every other week. The service-finder or the app shows whether you are red week or blue week. A late set-out can wait until the next collection day.

What if Winston-Salem did not take my cart?

Look for a red non-collection notice on it. If there is no notice, call CityLink at (336) 727-8000, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and allow 24 hours. Recycling centers are open Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hanes Mill Center is Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon.
