What it takes

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

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.
