Holiday Collection

The Wake County landfill is closed for the following holidays:

• Memorial Day
• July 4th
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day
• New Years Day

If your trash collection day falls on one of these holidays, trash and recycling collection will be postponed to the following day and any subsequent collection day in that same week will also be postponed one day. For example, Thanksgiving Day always falls on Thursday, so Thursday's collection would be on Friday and Friday's collection would be on Saturday. Call Customer Service at 362-8676 if you are ever in doubt about your correct collection day.

 

Inclement Weather Collection

If your trash collection day is disrupted by inclement weather, trash and recycling collection will be postponed until it can be safely resumed and any subsequent collection day in that same week will also be postponed.  

For example, if your collection day falls on Thursday and it is not collected due to the weather, Thursday's collection could occur  on Friday and Friday's collection could occur on Saturday, weather permitting.  Because of the range of severity and duration in weather disruptions, it is impossible to predict when a collection route might be eventually completed as it could occur (in the worst case) several days later. 

When there is a weather disruption, we ask that customers put their carts and bins out to the curb on their regular collection day and leave them at the curb until they are eventually  collected. Trash and recycling collection crews will make every effort to resume normal collection as soon as weather permits. 

Call Customer Service at 362-8676 if you are ever in doubt about your correct collection day.
