Commercial Solid Waste

Customize your trash disposal options based on the size and location of your business.

Large businesses that use dumpsters for trash disposal may be eligible to use the City’s fee-based commercial waste program or our low-cost dumpster recycling service.

Home-based businesses and other small business locations may be eligible for residential garbage collection. One green roll-out trash can is provided at no charge. A second can may be purchased for $70. If a business generates more trash than can be enclosed in these two containers, the business must make arrangements with a private trash hauler. Overflow trash that does not fit in the containers will not be collected.

Downtown trash collection is available Monday - Saturday. Large waste generators may be required to use dumpster service. If you don't have room for a dumpster, Downtown Greensboro Inc. manages several shared waste compactors for a fee.
