Forum 52 Yard Waste Facility

What it takes

Forsyth County’s other recycling center takes the same items. The Hanes Mill Road Solid Waste Facility takes tires and appliances. The 3RC EnviroStation takes paint, electronics, used motor oil, some batteries, and household hazardous waste.

Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.

• Brush and yard waste

Forsyth County rules

• Forsyth County doesn’t run trash drop-off centers. Homes outside the towns have franchised curbside pickup, and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities runs the landfills and yard waste sites.
• The landfills and yard waste sites charge $37 a ton ($10 minimum), or a flat rate for small loads: $7 for a car, minivan, or half-ton SUV, and $15 for a half-ton pickup or van or a single-axle trailer up to 8 feet. They take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, debit cards, cash, and business checks, but not personal checks or American Express.
• City of Winston-Salem homeowners can get a free landfill permit, good for a year, that covers two free trips to the landfills and yard waste sites for household loads in a half-ton or smaller vehicle or a single-axle trailer.
