News and Events
August 2012
Recycling Cart Delivery Continues
Blue carts have been delivered to almost half of the customers in Phase 3 of the
transition to biweekly recycling. Remaining customers should receive their new recycling
carts before Labor Day. Please remember that new carts will not be serviced until the
first green-shaded day on your recycling calendar. If you received a blue cart this summer
but did not get a calendar, visit the City's website to find your service day. If you
prefer, call Solid Waste Services at 919-996-6890 to have a calendar mailed to you. Keep
your green bin to use inside your house or drop it off at your closest City fire station
during the month of September.

Recycling Comes to Glenwood South
The next time you venture to Glenwood South in search of a cupcake or cocktail, take a
look at Raleigh's latest recycling innovation. Nearly twenty BigBelly Solar Compactors
are being installed in this downtown district. The solar-powered trash cans compact waste
to save space, alerting Solid Waste Services employees when they need to be emptied. Next
to the trash cans, you'll find receptacles for recycling plastic bottles, metal cans,
glass bottles and paper. Food, plastic bags and polystyrene (a.k.a. Styrofoam) belong in
the trash can, not in the recycling container. What do you think of the BigBelly cans?
Email your comments and suggestions for other public spaces that need recycling containers
to sws(a)raleighnc.gov.
