Call 704-920-5555 to schedule collection of appliances, bulky items, and e-waste
The City of Concord requires that all residents call our Customer CARE Center (704-920-5555) a minimum of two business days in advance of your regular garbage pick up day to schedule the curbside collection of accepted bulky items, old appliances, scrap metal, used tires, and e-waste. Although the City of Concord has encouraged residents to schedule the collection of these items for some time, scheduling became mandatory in 2011. Items left on curb and not scheduled for pick up could lead to code enforcement penalties for property owners.
