The Sanitation Division of the Morganton Public Works Department manages routine garbage pickups in addition to several other waste removal services.
Household waste is taken to the Burke County transfer station for shipment to a landfill.
Items that can be recycled or ground for mulch are collected separately. Waste removal services require separation of each type of waste and is collected by separate vehicles to facilitate proper disposition. Your assistance in segregation will insure timely collection. Please place items for curbside collection on the street for the day of collection. For this pile to be collected by sanitation crews it will have to be hand sorted into separate piles for three different collection vehicles.
