South Charlotte on this page means the city's south side, including Ballantyne, Blakeney and the area around the StoneCrest shops on Rea Road. A neighborhood name doesn't settle whether you're inside the city or who empties your cart, and that's the first thing to check.
In plain words: if the city empties your cart in Ballantyne or Blakeney, you can request this pickup, and it's worth trying first. If a private company empties it, ask that company what it does with a couch.
In plain words: request the pickup first, through 311, the CLT+ app or the city's website, and leave the couch inside until the day before. The city's page links its item-by-item list, so check there if you aren't sure about something.
If you can load it yourself, the county runs four full-service drop-off centers. Foxhole is the one on Lancaster Highway, in zip code 28277.
In plain words: if you live in the county and one big piece fits in your car, the county's fee sheet lists no charge for it. A bigger load has a fee, and the sheet lists it.
In plain words: an old TV or computer from a Blakeney garage can't just go in the trash. The county's list above includes electronic waste. Sending one to a hauler instead? Count it in your request and ask your hauler how they handle electronics. For more on where a load can legally go, see where your junk goes.
If none of those routes fits, you can send a request for any of these from Ballantyne, Blakeney or anywhere else in south Charlotte. Say where it is, because that and what's going decide whether a hauler can take it. Your hauler comes inside and does the lifting.
You can send a request for heavy demo debris the same way, then ask your hauler whether it can take the job and who handles any permit.
In a town with its own trash rules, not the city? That page is separate.
We'll connect you with an independent local hauler. Starting prices are per item. A few from the home page rate card:
These are starting prices. Your hauler confirms the final price on-site after reviewing the items, before anything is loaded.
Several items or a cleanout are estimated as one job, not by adding up item prices. The cost guide says more about how quotes work.
If the City of Charlotte collects your garbage, you can schedule it. The city's bulky item list includes couches and mattresses, and the city says the service depends on you currently receiving its garbage collection. Schedule through 311, the CLT+ app or the city's website, and don't set anything at the curb until the day before.
Mecklenburg County residents can use any of four full-service drop-off centers, Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Foxhole is the one on Lancaster Highway. Bring proof you live in the county and display a blue sticker. The county's fee sheet lists no charge for one large bulky item and fees for bigger loads.
No. North Carolina has banned the disposal of computer equipment and televisions. The state says most counties offer public drop-off locations for electronics, and Mecklenburg's centers list electronic waste. If you're sending them to a hauler instead, count them in your request and ask your hauler how they handle electronics.
There's no 704 Junk office for you to visit. 704 Junk is a referral service. We take requests by text, phone or the online form and connect you with an independent local hauler, who sets the final price and does the work.
Text a photo, call, or use the online form and tell us what's going. Your hauler will get back to you with a rough quote. Starting prices are on the home page. Your hauler confirms the final price on-site after reviewing the items, before anything is loaded.
Same-day may be possible. Ask when you send the details. Tell us what's going, where it is and when you'd like it gone, and your hauler can tell you what dates they have before anything is scheduled.
Text a photo of what's going and we'll line up a local hauler.
