1. Greensboro Permit Rules: Streets vs. Private Property

In 2026, the City of Greensboro's Field Operations Department has increased oversight on right-of-way obstructions.

• Private Driveways: No permit required. Ensure a 12' width for truck clearance.
• Public Streets: If placing a bin on the street in Fisher Park or College Hill, you must have a Right-of-Way permit.

2026 Update: Greensboro inspectors now use mobile verification. Ensure your permit is physically attached to the bin or visible on the property.

2. Prohibited Items at White Street Landfill

Loading the following items will result in a rejected load at the White Street Landfill (2503 White St) or the Burnt Poplar Transfer Station:

• No Liquids: Paint, oil, or chemicals (Must go to Patterson St HHW Center).
• No Tires/Batteries: These require specialized recycling per Guilford County law.
• No Appliances: "White Goods" must be disposed of at the Bishop Rd facility.
