Bulky pickup in Durham
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Durham mattresses are accepted on request-only bulky service — 3 items/week free; more than 3 needs a paid quote. Mechanical-arm curb pickup only (not alleys). TVs, e-waste, tires, propane, and construction debris are prohibited from bulky.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Durham Waste Disposal & Recycling Center HHW at 2115 East Club Boulevard accepts household hazardous materials free for residents. Automotive fluids at HHW.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including mixed e-waste are prohibited from Durham curbside bulky. Drop free at the Waste Disposal & Recycling Center — 2115 East Club Boulevard (Mon–Fri 7:30–4:00, Sat 7:30–noon). Annual e-waste events are also held. Wipe data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is prohibited from Durham bulky. Hire a private C&D hauler or confirm transfer-station limits at 2115 E Club Blvd. Route paint/chemicals to HHW separately.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Durham 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 Durham — Bulky services is the official Durham 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.
