The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

Updates through the handoff.
Get a booking confirmation, a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. Your retired equipment is one less thing to keep track of.
A separate monitor and tower count separately. Small devices and cables have their own box option. Choose what is actually leaving so your price matches the pickup.
Monitor, desktop or laptop.
Choose Computer monitor for each separate display. Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. A laptop is its own item. Add only the devices going.
Printer or office copier.
A printer with a built-in scanner belongs under Printer. A floor-standing copy machine belongs under Office copier. The shape matters more than the brand.
A box of smaller electronics.
Use Box of electronics for small devices, cables and chargers together in one box. For a large or heavy box, unusual contents or separate batteries, send a photo and confirm the fit before booking.

Electronics are refused at the curb and go to a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, or to a convenience centre on a weekend at three specific sites.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the town nor the county publishes a fee for electronics at the multi-material facilities or the convenience centres, so confirm the accepted device and any charge before the trip with Wake County Solid Waste or Public Works at 919-435-9570.
When & how
Take the devices to a multi-material recycling facility such as North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh or South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or to convenience centre Sites 1, 4 or 11, which take electronics on weekends only.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the devices out of the trash and recycling carts, and note that the two Wake Forest convenience centres do not accept electronics at all.
Four streams leave the curb for Wake County, at the right site
Electronics go to a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, or to convenience centre Sites 1, 4 or 11 on a weekend only. 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.
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 Wake Forest Department of Public Works with Wake County Solid Waste Management
Take appliances and electronics to a county multi-material facility
A household with a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioning unit, washer, dryer, water heater, television, computer, monitor or any other corded device.
Cost & conditions
The county page publishes no drop-off fee for the appliance or electronics line, so confirm the accepted material and any charge with Wake County Solid Waste or Public Works at 919-435-9570.
Arrange it
Drive to the North Wake facility at 9029 Deponie Drive in Raleigh or the South Wake facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or to East Wake at 5051 Wendell Boulevard in Wendell on Saturday and Sunday only.
Scrap metal and wood pallets are taken only at North and South Wake, no scavenging or exchange of materials is allowed, children and pets stay in the vehicle, and the sites close on the listed holidays.
Town of Wake Forest Department of Public Works with Wake County Solid Waste Management
Use a county convenience centre for the household load
A household with household trash, recyclables, scrap metal, clothing, a mattress or household construction debris, depending on the site.
Cost & conditions
The county page publishes no drop-off fee at the convenience centres, so confirm the accepted material and any charge with Wake County Solid Waste before the trip.
Arrange it
Use one of the eleven centres, open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. outside the listed holidays, and bring residency verification for the mattress and construction debris lines.
Electronics are limited to Sites 1, 4 and 11 on weekends, mattresses and box springs to Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 with a two a day limit, and household construction debris to Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 from the homeowner with verification, so the two Wake Forest sites are not the right destination for those streams.
Self haul in Wake Forest means the town bulk appointment or a Wake County site. The town takes furniture, mattresses, box springs, exercise equipment and listed appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washing machines and water heaters on a Tuesday bulk appointment, with two free collections a calendar year and fifty dollars for each one after that, and it refuses electronics, tires, liquid paint, batteries, hazardous material, construction material and freon appliances including refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units. Wake County picks up the rest. Electronics and large appliances go to a multi-material recycling facility, with North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh and South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and East Wake in Wendell open Saturday and Sunday only. Chemicals, batteries, paint, solvents, aerosols, fluorescent bulbs, fire extinguishers and mercury thermometers go to a household hazardous waste facility, with North Wake temporarily closed after fire damage and running a Saturday collection event instead. Mattresses and box springs are accepted only at convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, two a day with residency verification, and household construction debris only at those same sites from the homeowner with verification, while concrete, bricks and pavers are refused there and a larger load goes to a private construction and demolition facility or the South Wake Landfill, which takes residential loads on a limited basis with cash, cheque or credit card payment. The two convenience centres in Wake Forest take household trash, recyclables, scrap metal and clothing, but not mattresses, electronics or construction debris.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Wake Forest.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Wake Forest?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. A separate desktop tower and monitor are separate items. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; review the total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can you pick up old electronics today in Wake Forest?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout and have the prepared items outside according to your confirmation. We text you when your hauler is on the way and provide photos when the pickup is done. The booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.
Does computer removal include my monitor and printer?+
Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. Add a separate monitor, printer or laptop as its own item if it is going too. For small devices, cables and chargers together, choose Box of electronics and check the description before booking.
Do you erase data from old computers?+
Data erasure and certified data destruction are not included in Dropcurb removal. Back up the information you need, then follow the manufacturer’s sign-out and reset instructions before pickup. If a device cannot be erased or contains sensitive business information, arrange suitable data handling before giving it away. Completion photos confirm the pickup, not data destruction.Official guidance
Can I book one box of old cables and small electronics?+
Yes. Box of electronics is an existing option for small devices, cables and chargers together in one box. A monitor, desktop computer and printer each have their own item option. Send a photo before booking for a large or heavy box, unusual contents or separate batteries so we can confirm the fit.
Where do televisions and computers go in Wake Forest?+
Not in the trash or recycling cart, and not to a bulk pickup, because the town refuses electronics such as televisions, computers, printers, copiers and microwaves. Use a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, which takes televisions, computers, monitors, game consoles, stereos, microwaves and any corded device, or a convenience centre at Sites 1, 4 or 11, where electronics are accepted on weekends only. The two convenience centres in Wake Forest do not take electronics.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Wake Forest?+
The town does, through the Public Works Department on 919-435-9570, under a mandatory residential sanitation service for single-family dwellings of up to four units with private driveways. The service includes one trash cart, one recycling cart and weekly collection on the Raleigh Water bill, and Republic Services provides a free collection assistance programme for the elderly and disabled through Public Works.Official guidance
Where do the items the town refuses go?+
To Wake County. Electronics and large appliances with freon go to a multi-material recycling facility such as North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh or South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Chemicals, paint, batteries and bulbs go to a household hazardous waste facility, with North Wake temporarily closed and running a Saturday collection event. Mattresses and household construction debris go only to convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, so the two Wake Forest centres are not the destination for those.Official guidance
