The clear-out can be finished.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.

Town curbside collection
A Holly Springs household with an active water account, since garbage and recycling service is opened with the water account and billed on the same monthly statement.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Open the service when the water account is started, look up the collection day for the address, and set the carts out at least five feet from the mailbox or post on the scheduled day.
The route covers household garbage and recyclables only, with yard waste on its own schedule and no mattresses, box springs, sofa beds, construction material or hazardous waste.

Town of Holly Springs Public Works with GFL Environmental and Wake County Solid Waste Management
Wake County convenience center
A Wake County household with bedding, homeowner construction debris, an appliance, scrap metal, tires, wood pallets or recyclables that the curbside route will not take.
Cost & conditions
The county guide lists the material these centers accept and the per site limits without publishing a fee for the items this packet covers, so confirm any charge and the current site rules before loading.
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.
The centers serve Wake County residents only, refuse concrete and pavers in construction loads, cap mattresses and box springs at two pieces per visit, and accept corded electronic devices only at the sites the guide names.
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.

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How do I start garbage service?+
A household signs up for garbage and recycling when it requests water service at Town Hall, and the charges then appear on the monthly utility bill together with yard waste. Collection questions go to Public Works on 311, or 919-577-3111 from outside Town limits.Official guidance

Call the Town on 3-1-1 or 919-577-3111 before the item goes out, then place it behind the curb at the edge of the front yard. 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.Official guidance

The county accepts mattresses and box springs at five convenience centers with a limit of two pieces per visit, so confirm the site and any fee before hauling.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator or washer go?+
Either to a scheduled curbside white goods pickup, which the Town charges for and requires payment in advance, or to the Southern Wake Landfill Convenience Center in Apex, which takes white goods at no charge. Call 311 to book the curbside option and confirm the fee.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go?+
To the county sites that take corded electronic devices, which the county guide lists with a site limit that does not include the Apex center nearest Holly Springs.

Where does construction debris go?+
To a Wake County convenience center or a private hauler. The Town says construction material must not go in the garbage cart, the household item collection excludes it, and the yard waste convenience center refuses construction debris, dirt, concrete, pallets and lumber. The county takes homeowner construction debris without concrete or pavers at the sites the guide names.Official guidance

What can I take to the yard waste center?+
The town convenience center at 361 Bumgardner Drive takes any amount of yard waste at no additional cost from residents who show proof of residence, and it is open every day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bring the material loose rather than bagged, and keep dirt, root balls, mulch, rocks, concrete, construction debris, pallets and lumber out, because the center refuses them.Official guidance
Can I take a load to the South Wake Landfill myself?+
Yes, on a limited basis. The landfill prefers licensed haulers with credit accounts, but residents may bring waste and pay by cash, check or credit card up to the published card limit, and every load must originate inside Wake County. The same site holds a convenience center and the household hazardous waste facility.Official guidance
What do I do with moving boxes?+
