City collection The Town collects one larger household item that will not fit in the cart, and several small items, after the resident calls the Town first. No charge. Holly Springs households that call 3-1-1 or 919-577-3111 before the item goes out, where one item under 50 pounds and under two and a half cubic yards, or several small items, is collected at no additional charge. A larger load or an appliance carries a fee paid in advance and based on the size of the load.
City collection The Town cannot collect a mattress or a box spring at the curb, so bedding goes to a Wake County site that takes it within a per visit limit. The Town excludes mattresses and box springs from the curbside household item collection and directs the resident to a private removal service or the South Wake Landfill, and the county guide lists mattresses and box springs as acceptable at five convenience centers with a limit of two items per visit. The retained pages publish no fee for the county route, so confirm the fee and the receiving site before loading the bedding.
City collection An appliance is collected curbside as white goods for a fee after the Town schedules it, or dropped at a Wake County convenience center at no charge. The Town charges a fee for a curbside white goods collection, paid in advance after the pickup is scheduled with 311, while the Southern Wake Landfill Convenience Center takes white goods at no charge. The retained Town page does not publish the curbside amount, which is based on the size of the load, so confirm it when the pickup is booked.
City collection The Town, through its waste contractor, collects garbage every week and recycling every other week at the curb from single family homes that are signed up for the service. The charges for garbage, recycling and yard waste ride the monthly utility bill rather than arriving as a separate hauler invoice, and the Town publishes utility rates on its billing pages rather than on the collection page, so confirm the current amount with the Finance Department when the water account is opened or the bill is reviewed.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Holly Springs runs one curbside program through its waste contractor and one town route for the items that will not fit in the cart. Garbage is collected every week and recycling every other week on the same day, a household signs up when it starts water service, and the charges ride the monthly utility bill rather than a separate hauler invoice. Anything too large for the cart is a call to the Town before it goes out, because the Town collects one larger household item within its published size and weight limits at no additional charge and quotes a fee for a bigger load. Four things the curb will not take are the ones residents ask about most. Box springs and mattresses are excluded from the curbside collection and go to a Wake County site instead, an appliance goes either to a scheduled curbside white goods pickup for a fee or to the county convenience center at no charge, a corded electronic device goes to the county sites the county guide names, and construction material is refused both in the cart and at the town yard waste center even though the county takes homeowner construction debris at several sites. Hazardous material goes to the county household hazardous waste drop-off at 6150 Old Smithfield Road in Apex, and household batteries can be dropped in the two town bins on weekdays with the terminals taped first.
The Town, through its waste contractor, collects garbage every week and recycling every other week at the curb from single family homes that are signed up for the service.
City cost & eligibility
The charges for garbage, recycling and yard waste ride the monthly utility bill rather than arriving as a separate hauler invoice, and the Town publishes utility rates on its billing pages rather than on the collection page, so confirm the current amount with the Finance Department when the water account is opened or the bill is reviewed.
When & how
Garbage every week and recycling every other week on the same collection day, with collection possible at any time during that day because the trucks run until 7 p.m.
Get it ready
Place the carts at least five feet from the closest mailbox or post and keep them clear of parked cars. Yard waste, dirt, construction material and household hazardous waste never go in the garbage cart, and anything too large for the cart is arranged with the Town before it is set out.
The Town collects one larger household item that will not fit in the cart, and several small items, after the resident calls the Town first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Holly Springs households that call 3-1-1 or 919-577-3111 before the item goes out, where one item under 50 pounds and under two and a half cubic yards, or several small items, is collected at no additional charge. A larger load or an appliance carries a fee paid in advance and based on the size of the load.
When & how
By arrangement with the Town after the call, rather than on the regular garbage day.
Get it ready
Call before the item is placed out and put it at the edge of the front yard just behind the curb and off the street pavement. Grills, printers, exercise equipment, large children's toys and chairs are named as the kind of item this route covers, while sofa beds, mattresses, box springs and construction material are excluded and need a private removal service or a county load.
The Town cannot collect a mattress or a box spring at the curb, so bedding goes to a Wake County site that takes it within a per visit limit.
City cost & eligibility
The Town excludes mattresses and box springs from the curbside household item collection and directs the resident to a private removal service or the South Wake Landfill, and the county guide lists mattresses and box springs as acceptable at five convenience centers with a limit of two items per visit. The retained pages publish no fee for the county route, so confirm the fee and the receiving site before loading the bedding.
When & how
At a county convenience center during its daily hours, which run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., rather than on the Town collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry and bring no more than two pieces in one visit, because the county caps bedding at two items at the sites that accept it. Confirm the site before hauling, and ask about donation first if the piece is still in good condition.
An appliance is collected curbside as white goods for a fee after the Town schedules it, or dropped at a Wake County convenience center at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
The Town charges a fee for a curbside white goods collection, paid in advance after the pickup is scheduled with 311, while the Southern Wake Landfill Convenience Center takes white goods at no charge. The retained Town page does not publish the curbside amount, which is based on the size of the load, so confirm it when the pickup is booked.
When & how
On the day the Town sets when the curbside pickup is scheduled and paid for, or during the county center's daily hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Get it ready
Schedule the pickup with the Town and pay before the appliance goes to the curb, and remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer so the unit is safe. An appliance such as an air conditioner, heater unit, refrigerator, washer or dryer is also accepted at the county convenience centers as part of their appliance coverage.
The Town runs battery bins inside two town buildings, and a corded electronic device goes to the Wake County sites the county guide names rather than to the nearest one.
City cost & eligibility
The Town's battery bins are a town service with no fee published on the retained page, and the county accepts corded electronic devices and cell phones at the sites the county guide names, whose fees are also not published on the retained pages. Confirm the current charge and the receiving site before hauling a device.
When & how
At the Town battery bins inside Public Works at 101 Thomas Mill Road or Town Hall at 128 South Main Street on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at the county sites during their published hours.
Get it ready
Cover every battery post with electrical tape before dropping a battery in a town bin, because an uncovered post can start a fire. Household batteries are accepted at the town bins while vehicle batteries are not and have to go to the county facility, and the county guide describes its electronics coverage as any corded electronic device or cell phone at the two sites and the weekend East Wake schedule it names.
Construction material is refused in the garbage cart and at the town yard waste center, and the county accepts homeowner project debris at several sites within its own limits.
City cost & eligibility
The Town excludes construction material from the cart and from the household item collection, and the yard waste convenience center refuses construction debris, dirt, concrete, pallets and lumber. The county accepts construction debris as homeowner waste only, with no concrete or pavers, at the sites the county guide names, and the retained pages publish no fee, so confirm the site and the charge before loading.
When & how
At a county convenience center during its daily hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or by a private hauler, rather than on the Town collection day.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage cart, out of the town yard waste center and out of the curbside household item pickup, since all three refuse it. Leave concrete and pavers out of a county load because the county refuses them even where it takes other homeowner debris, and keep the load to household scale rather than contractor volume.
Exercise equipment is one of the household items the Town names in its pickup route for things that will not fit in the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Holly Springs households that call 3-1-1 or 919-577-3111 first, where the equipment counts as the single larger household item of no more than 50 pounds and no more than two and a half cubic yards that the Town collects at no additional charge. A machine that pushes the load beyond those limits is quoted and paid in advance.
When & how
By arrangement with the Town after the call, rather than on the regular garbage day.
Get it ready
Call before the machine goes out, take it down as far as it comes apart, and keep the loose weights with the frame so the item stays inside the weight and volume limits. Place it at the edge of the front yard just behind the curb, and put nothing else out with it, because the allowance is one item or several small ones.
Weekly garbage, every-other-week recycling, one service day
Garbage is collected every week and recycling every other week on the same day, and collection can happen at any time during that day because the trucks run until 7 p.m. Place the carts at least five feet from the closest mailbox or post, and keep the account in good standing by handling service changes through the Town.
The household item route starts with a call to 3-1-1 or 919-577-3111, before anything is placed out. One item under 50 pounds and under two and a half cubic yards, or several small items, is collected at no additional charge, and a larger load is quoted and paid in advance. Items go just behind the curb at the edge of the front yard.
Yard waste, dirt, construction material and household hazardous waste never go in the garbage cart. Sofa beds, mattresses, box springs and construction material are excluded from the curbside household item collection as well, so each of those needs a county load or a private hauler rather than a spot beside the carts.
Wake County convenience centers are open every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the South Wake household hazardous waste facility in Apex is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The county accepts mattresses and box springs with a two item limit, homeowner construction debris without concrete or pavers, appliances, scrap metal and tires, but a corded electronic device goes only to the sites the county guide names.
The Town keeps battery bins inside Public Works at 101 Thomas Mill Road and Town Hall at 128 South Main Street, both open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cover every battery post with electrical tape first, because a loose post can start a fire, and take a vehicle battery to the county facility instead since the town bins do not accept them.
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.

Arrange it
Check the county site list for the nearest center that takes the load, drive it in during the daily hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and bring the load loose and separated because a mixed or oversized vehicle may need a county Trash Pass.

South Wake Household Hazardous Waste drop-off facility
6150 Old Smithfield Road, Apex, NC 27539
Household hazardous material from Wake County households, including the chemicals, fuels, finishes, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers, propane tanks and latex paint that the county guide lists, and batteries that the Town's own bins do not accept.
Wake County residents only, and the county prints this drop-off at 6150 Old Smithfield Road while the Town's own pages print 6130 Old Smithfield Road for the same drop-off, so confirm the house number on 919-856-7400 before a first trip. The Town asks residents to tape battery terminals before any drop-off, and the Town's bins refuse vehicle batteries while this facility takes them.
Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Neither retained body publishes a fee for this facility, so confirm the current charge with Wake County Solid Waste Management on 919-856-7400 before the load is packed.

Can I take a load to the South Wake Landfill myself?+
Yes, on a limited basis.

What do I do with moving boxes?+
