Trash Collection
Winston Salem Collects is a free mobile app that sends reminders for all curbside collections. It has a “waste wizard” look-up that tells you how to properly dispose of items, be it in the garbage, through curbside recycling, or at a drop-off site. You can also use it to report missed collections and get notice of changes in the collection schedule.
The online version is available at CityofWS.org/Sanitation and CityofWs.org/Recycling. It offers all the features available through the app plus the ability to print personalized collection calendars that include holiday collection changes.
More information on hazardous waste disposal is available here.
