Uncollectible Items

Certain items cause considerable damage to our refuse trucks and are unable to be collected. The following items will damage the garbage trucks:

Bricks
Metal
Lumber
Debris from construction, remodeling and/or demolition may not be placed in the container or collected by the bulk/brush vehicles.
Do not put anything flammable, toxic, or hazardous in the container.
Do not put hot ashes or charcoal in the automated container. If your container is damaged due to fire or misuse, you will be responsible for replacing the container at your own expense.
Tires: The County will only pick up four tires, without the rims, per collection.

Roanoke County does not collect bulk or brush that results from contracted jobs - meaning any job done for hire. Nor does the County collect building or construction material, materials from demolition, remodeling, renovation, or new construction, bulk or brush from commercial establishments, firewood larger than 6" in diameter, hazardous material, or dead animals.
