Bulk and Metal/Appliance Collection Requests
All requests for bulk and metal/appliance collection are accepted by our hauling company, Waste Management. There are two ways to request a pick-up:
- The Waste Management Call Center- please call 1-800-972-4545. There will be a short series of prompts. Below is a guide to navigate the prompts. They will first ask if you have a customer ID. We do not use customer ID numbers in Smithfield, so hold for the next prompt.
Press 1 for residential curbside service
Press 3 for all other customers
Press 4 for all other inquiries
That will take you right to a rep. They will ask your town, please say Smithfield (not Greenville, Esmond or Georgiaville). Be sure to have a pen handy as they will give you a ticket number/confirmation for the pick-up.
- Through the Waste Management website by using the bulk item request link below:
