Verified dump, bulky pickup, HHW, and e-waste programs in Wilmington — 32 indexable city guides, with related items grouped on the program board. All verified cities
Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Wilmington mattresss go out on a scheduled special pickup — call 302-576-3878 to arrange collection rather than setting items out on a regular trash day. Self-haul is available at the DSWA Cherry Island Landfill, 1706 East 12th Street. Keep chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Wilmington has no permanent household hazardous waste depot. DSWA runs rotating HHW collection events around the state — take motor oil to a published event date and location. Store material sealed in original containers until then; never pour chemicals down a drain or put them in the trash cart.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Wilmington e waste mixed goes to a DSWA electronics drop-off rather than the trash cart — Cherry Island Landfill and DSWA collection sites handle covered devices. Confirm the site and hours on dswa.com and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not a city special pickup item. Self-haul to Cherry Island Landfill, 1706 East 12th Street, at posted tipping fees. Route paint to a DSWA HHW event.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Wilmington yard waste follows the city's seasonal collection schedule; DSWA sites also accept separated yard waste at posted rates.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Wilmington recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Wilmington — Trash Collection is the official Wilmington program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
