Solid Waste Management

Tyrrell County Curbside Services

Tyrrell County provides curbside service for trash and recyclables throughout the county and in the Town of Columbia. Tyrrell County requires all curbside customers to use a GDS rollout container and recycling bin. If you need a GDS rollout container, please contact the Tyrrell County Tax Office to request a container at 796-4964.

All waste must be placed in these containers for pickup. Routine coverage by a customer may require the customer to obtain additional containers resulting in additional solid waste fees. County and Town residents should call GDS to have major appliances or large furnishings picked up at the curb. GDS 800-806-9142
