Have a Green Halloween
A survey by the National Retail Foundation found that 64.5% of people celebrate
Halloween in some way. That's a higher number than the individual recycling rates of
aluminum, glass, paper and plastic bottles! Yes, even Halloween can be greener! We've
compiled a list of ideas to get you started. Visit our web page and click on the link
under News and Events.
Recycle & Win to End Nov. 2
The Recycle and Win incentive campaign is scheduled to end on November 2, 2012. This
campaign was created in partnership with Coca-Cola Consolidated of N.C. and Harris Teeter.
It awarded $50 Harris Teeter gift cards to Raleigh residents who were recycling correctly
each week. During the six month program 260 winners were selected. The program was very
successful in getting new participants to the Raleigh Recycling Program and increasing the
amount recycled for those already recycling.
But don't stop recycling! Recycling makes us all winners as it reduces pollution,
saves landfill space and natural resources, creates jobs and much more.
NCSU to Host Free Electronics Movie
NC State University is hosting an electronics recycling film on Sunday, October 28,
2012 named "Terra Blight". The movie is free and starts at 7 p.m. at the

Annual Cooking Grease and Oil Collection
The City of Raleigh runs an annual program to collect cooking oil and grease at the
curbside helping to prevent sewer overflows. From November 1st through January 15th
residents in the Capital City are able to recycle these products by calling Solid Waste
Services at 919-996-6890 to set up a collection date. Once the appointment date is set
residents put the cooking oil and grease on the curb along with their garbage, recycling
and yard waste.
Churches and synagogues in the Capital City also may also participate in the program
at no charge. Commercial establishments and apartment community residents are not eligible
for the service.
During the rest of the year, cooking oil and grease can be taken to a Wake County
Convenience Centers.
