Collection From New Recycling Carts Begins After Labor Day

Blue recycling roll carts that are being delivered to Raleigh households this summer will not be serviced until after Labor Day. The City is reminding residents not to set the new roll carts on the curb for collection before Sept 3 and to continue using the smaller green recycling bins in the interim.

In late July, more than 30,000 Raleigh households began receiving the 95-gallon blue recycling roll carts as part of Phase 3 of the City of Raleigh’s transition to biweekly (once every two weeks) recycling. Delivery of the carts is scheduled to continue through Aug. 28. Also in July, calendars with the new biweekly recycling schedule were mailed to residents in the Phase 3 transition. If you lost the recycling calendar or need an additional one, you can download and reprint a calendar from the City’s website, www.raleighnc.gov (Type “Raleigh recycling curbside collection calendars” in the search engine). Recycling calendars also can be obtained by calling the City’s Solid Waste Services Department at 919-996-6890.

The blue recycling roll carts are being delivered by the manufacturer, Rehrig Pacific, and most deliveries are taking place on weekdays. However to maintain the delivery schedule, some carts may arrive at households on Saturday or Sunday. Residents should report any problems with their cart by calling the City’s Solid Waste Services Department at 919-996-6890. Switching to a smaller recycling roll cart will not be allowed until after Jan. 1.

Residents receiving the new blue recycling roll carts are encouraged to keep the 18-gallon green recycling bins for use inside their home or donate them to any organization that can put them to use. Residents may take unwanted or broken green recycling bins to any City of Raleigh fire station during the month of September only. Visit www.raleighnc.gov to find the fire station closest to your residence. Old recycling bins also can be dropped off anytime at the City’s Wilders Grove Solid Waste Services Operations Center , located at 630 Beacon Lake Drive , or the City’s Yard Waste Center , 900 N. New Hope Road .

For more information about the transition to biweekly recycling, including delivery of the blue recycling roll carts, contact the City of Raleigh Solid Waste Services Department at 919-996-6890 or go to www.raleighnc.gov (Type “recycle carts” in the search engine).
