Exercise equipment removal
in Morrisville.

Morrisville runs a weekly GFL collection and two town programs for large items, then leans on Wake County for everything else. The weekly service collects garbage and recycling Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., yard waste goes out twice a month on Wednesdays by route with bagged clippings and bundled sticks, and only Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day shift the schedule. Bulk items are collected once in the spring and once in the fall, free to residents receiving GFL curbside service, with up to five acceptable items per household during the designated week, which in 2026 is October 5 to 9, and every item has to weigh under 100 pounds: furniture, mattresses and box springs, grills without tanks, push lawnmowers with the fluids drained, disassembled scrap metal in four foot lengths, and plastic toys are the published acceptable list. White goods and electronics are not part of that week. Appliances have their own quarterly white goods collection run by Public Works with registration opening a month ahead, accepted appliance list and a 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. window, with microwaves excluded and directed to the South Wake Landfill or a Green Day event. Electronics have to be recycled, and the county's multi-material recycling facilities take televisions, computers, monitors, consoles, stereos, microwaves and any corded device along with large appliances, motor oil, antifreeze, cooking oil and cardboard, while the town adds drive-through recycling of batteries, bulbs and electronics at its spring and fall Green Day events and a cooking oil cabinet at the Public Works office. Household chemicals go to one of the county's three household hazardous waste facilities, which serve Wake County residents only and refuse business waste, and tires are free to county residents at the dedicated scrap tire facilities once they are off the rims. The county also operates eleven convenience centres, including Site 3 at 266 Aviation Parkway inside Morrisville, open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for household waste and bulky items under eight feet, with the caveats that mattresses and household construction debris are only accepted at sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 and construction debris only from the homeowner.
