Solid Waste Curbside Service
As a property owner or resident in Brunswick County, you will be provided with a 96-gallon trash container which will be collected once per week.
The container must be rolled out to the curbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day. All trash placed in the container must be bagged. Once your trash is collected, please roll your cart away from the curbside to prevent damage or theft. For more information about correct placement of your container, visit GFL Environmental's Placement Guidelines for Waste Collection webpage.
Large items or extra trash should be taken to the Brunswick County Landfill or one of the Convenience Centers; they will not be collected with the normal trash.
