1. When is my bulk and brush collection day?

Your bulk and brush is collected every other week on your normal garbage collection day. The program is operated on an A Week/B Week schedule. To determine whether your street is either an A Week or a B Week, please visit our Find Your Collection Page which also has a link to the calendar. To ensure that your material is collected every other week, please make sure all material is to the curb by 7:00 AM on the scheduled collection day. Link to Find Your Collection Day

2. What materials will be collected in the bulk program?

Bulk is considered material resulting from normal household activity, including, but not limited to, items such as appliances, furniture, boxes or other trash resulting from moving, and small amounts of homeowner generated building materials. Please visit our Bulk and Brush Collection Page for a more detailed listing of acceptable and unacceptable items. If you have any further questions, please contact the Solid Waste Division at 387-6225. Link to Bulk and Brush Collection webpage

3. Are there limits to how much can be placed out for collection?

For brush pickup, the brush can be no longer than 6 feet in length or 12 inches in diameter. For both bulk and brush collection, we can collect about a pickup truck load each scheduled collection day. Link to Bulk and Brush Collection webpage

4. May I haul material away myself if I have too much or don't want to wait?

Roanoke County residents may haul up to twelve (12) loads a year free of charge to the Tinker Creek Transfer Station. Material generated from normal household activities is allowed, including 4 tires off the rims and small amounts of homeowner generated building material. The vehicle must be a 3/4 ton pickup or less. Concrete, roofing shingles, brick, dirt, and rocks are not included in the Homeowner Disposal Program, but may be taken to the Transfer Station for a fee. Items resulting from contracted work are not including the Homeowner Disposal Program either. The Transfer Station is located at 1020 Hollins Road. Link to Roanoke Valley Resource Authority
