The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Wake Forest runs a mandatory residential sanitation service through Public Works, with weekly trash, recycling and yard waste collection on the Raleigh Water bill, one trash cart and one recycling cart included, and a monthly fee that the billing page states as twenty four dollars while the older fee schedule page still prints twenty one dollars. Bulk waste is the town's route for large items: pickups run on Tuesdays by appointment, each household gets two free collections a calendar year, and further collections are charged at fifty dollars each. The bulk list names couches, mattresses, box springs, chairs, desks, dressers, exercise equipment, dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washing machines and water heaters, while electronics of every kind, freezers, refrigerators, air conditioners and any appliance holding freon are refused, together with construction and remodelling material, tires and hazardous products. Those streams go to Wake County: electronics and large appliances to a multi-material recycling facility, chemicals to a household hazardous waste facility, and household construction debris or a mattress to one of the five convenience centres that take them, because the two centres in Wake Forest do not.

Four streams leave the curb for Wake County, at the right site

Large appliances with freon, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning and heating units, washers, dryers and water heaters, also go to a multi-material facility. Chemicals, paint, batteries, flammables and fluorescent bulbs go to a household hazardous waste facility, and household construction debris from the homeowner goes only to convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 with verification. Mattresses and box springs are accepted only at Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, at a maximum of two a day, so the two Wake Forest convenience centres are not the right destination for any of these.
Yard waste goes out a day early and never with the trash
Yard waste is collected weekly one business day before the trash and recycling day, so the material goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on that earlier day. Use a town yard waste cart, a clearly marked reusable container marked Yard Waste or YW of no more than 45 gallons or 50 lbs, or a biodegradable paper yard waste bag of 50 lbs or less, and stack small branches under four feet neatly. Mulch, dirt, sod, wood chips and soil are refused, and a pile that mixes yard waste with trash is not collected at all.
