The town never names appliances in its bulk material, the garbage cart prohibits metal, and the Wake County convenience centers refuse appliances and white goods outright. What the county does name is the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility inside Apex, which lists air conditioners, dishwashers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, washing machines and water heaters as accepted material.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes no appliance item list, so whether a refrigerator, washer or water heater is booked as one of the fee based bulk items has to be confirmed with Ask Apex on (919) 249-3311, and Wake County publishes no fee on the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility page either, so confirm the drop-off terms on 919-856-7400 before you load.
When & how
The county facility takes appliances Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex. A curbside appliance would need a booked bulk day with the item at the curb by 6 am.
Get it ready
Drain and dry the unit, keep the doors and loose parts with it, and ask the county about refrigerant handling before a drop-off, because the county page lists appliances as accepted material without printing preparation steps.
Carts out the night before, bulk items at the curb by 6 am
Garbage and recycling are collected weekly on the same collection day, and the town asks that carts be rolled to the curb the night before. Bulk items follow a different clock: once your pickup is confirmed, everything has to be at the curb by 6 am on the collection day, because the crew will not enter private property. Space carts 3 to 4 feet apart so the automated arm can reach each one.
The garbage cart takes household trash only, preferably bagged, and anything left beside a full cart is not collected. Yard waste, brush, construction debris, automotive parts including tires, hazardous waste, hot ashes, metal and corrugated cardboard are all prohibited, which is why a couch, a mattress or an appliance never rides the cart either. Recycling goes in the recycling cart loose and never bagged, with the lid closed and nothing outside.
Wake County runs its South Wake sites on consecutive addresses along Old Smithfield Road inside the town, which covers most of what Apex refuses at the curb: 6130 for appliances, electronics and scrap metal, 6150 for household hazardous waste, paints, batteries and propane, and 6160 for up to 5 scrap tires free from residents, all open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm. The convenience center at 6120 adds mattresses and homeowner construction debris and runs daily from 7 am to 7 pm, and none of the four pages publishes a fee.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Town of Apex Public Works Department with GFL and Wake County Solid Waste Management

An Apex household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that cannot fit in the garbage cart and is willing to put it at the curb on a scheduled day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Apex.
How much does appliance removal cost in Apex?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Apex?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Where can a refrigerator go in Apex?+
The Wake County South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex lists air conditioners, dishwashers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, washing machines and water heaters as accepted appliances, and it is open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm to Wake County residents and businesses.

Who collects garbage and recycling in Apex?+
GFL, formerly Waste Industries, is contracted by the town to run the weekly household garbage collection, and the town's Public Works Department runs bulk item collection and yard waste with its own crews. Garbage and recycling carts go out weekly on the same collection day, carts should be 3 to 4 feet apart with the lids closed and nothing beside them, and Ask Apex at (919) 249-3311 handles schedules, missed collections and bulk item requests.Official guidance
