Appliances are recycled at the Citizen's Convenience Center for a fee that the town collects on site, and Wake County takes large appliances including refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, water heaters and air conditioning units at its multi-material recycling facilities.
City cost & eligibility
Cary has resumed fee collection for appliance recycling and tells readers to check the amount in the Waste Wizard or the Cary Collects app, so the fee is not published here. Wake County does not post a residential fee for appliances at its multi-material recycling facilities, so confirm the charge with each site.
When & how
Use the Cary center during its open hours or a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, which opens Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Apex and Raleigh sites.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost a cooling appliance and keep it upright for transport, and plan to pay by credit or debit card at the Cary gate.
Rollout carts go to the curb no earlier than dusk the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street. Keep the cart out of the roadway and clear of light poles, mailboxes and fire hydrants, leave room between the garbage and recycling carts and the yard waste pile, and bring the emptied cart back in before 6 a.m. the next day.
Cary says the Citizen's Convenience Center stays open as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains because the North Carolina Railroad needs the right-of-way. For everything else the town points residents to the Wake County Multi-Material Recycling Facility on Old Smithfield Road in Apex and the Wake County Convenience Center on Aviation Parkway in Morrisville, where county fees may apply, and it confirms that curbside collection is not affected.
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 Cary Solid Waste and Wake County facilities
Book a curbside special collection through 311
A Cary household with a couch, mattress, appliance or another bulky item that will not fit in the rollout cart.
Cost & conditions
The town says a scheduled special collection may carry a fee but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with 311 when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Call 311 inside Cary or (919) 469-4000 from outside town limits, or submit a request through the town's service system, and follow the set-out instructions it gives.
The cart service itself is for household garbage and recycling, and material the town refuses at its own facility, such as construction debris, paint, tires and treated lumber, stays off this route.

Take it to the Citizen's Convenience Center
A Cary household with bulky items, appliances, electronics, recycling or yard waste and its own vehicle.

A household with a refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, water heater, air conditioning unit or any corded electronics.
Cost & conditions
Wake County publishes no separate residential fee for appliances, electronics, antifreeze, motor oil, oil filters or scrap metal at these facilities. Confirm the current terms at the gate or with 919-856-7400.
Arrange it

Liquids have to be pourable into the collection tank with no drums, pallets are limited to 10 and only at the North and South Wake sites, and the facilities are closed on the county's listed holidays. Scavenging and any exchange of material are prohibited.
Cary residents have two ways to move bulky material themselves and one date to plan around. The Citizen's Convenience Center at 313 N. Dixon Ave. takes residential bulky items, recyclables, food waste and yard waste, and recycles appliances and electronics for a fee paid on site, but it refuses construction and remodeling debris, paint, motor oil, oil filters, tires, propane tanks, shingles, stumps, treated lumber, pallets, dirt, rocks, concrete and car batteries, and it does not admit commercial or contractor loads, box trucks or enclosed trailers. The town says the center keeps operating as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains, with Wake County facilities named as the replacement. Those county options are the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex for appliances, electronics, antifreeze, motor oil and oil filters, the Wake County Convenience Center Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road for up to two mattresses a day, homeowner construction debris with verification and scrap metal, and the South Wake Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 6150 Old Smithfield Road for paint, batteries, solvents and garden chemicals. Curbside carts, yard waste and the special collection request through 311 are not affected by the change.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in cary.
How much does appliance removal cost in cary?+
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 cary?+
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.
Is there a fee to recycle an appliance in Cary?+
Yes. The town says the Citizen's Convenience Center has resumed fee collection for appliance and electronics recycling, paid on site by credit or debit card, and directs readers to the Waste Wizard or Cary Collects app for the amount. Wake County also takes large appliances at its multi-material recycling facilities in Apex and Raleigh.Official guidance
Is the Citizen's Convenience Center closing?+
Part of it. The town says the center stays open as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains because the North Carolina Railroad needs the right-of-way. For everything else the town points residents to the Wake County Multi-Material Recycling Facility on Old Smithfield Road in Apex and the Wake County Convenience Center on Aviation Parkway in Morrisville, and curbside collection is not affected.Official guidance
Who arranges disposal for an apartment or a shared building?+
Start with the property manager. The town service covers residences that pay the monthly sanitation fee, and the convenience center is closed to commercial and contractor loads, so a shared building may need its own arrangement for material that will not fit the cart.Official guidance
