Trash & Recycling

During the week of May 27, trash and recycling will be collected one day later than normal and extend into Saturday. So, for example, Monday’s route will be collected Tuesday, and Friday’s route will be collected Saturday.


Yard Waste 

Yard waste collection will resume Tuesday, May 28, at 7 a.m. Crews will follow the normal collection schedule beginning with Monday’s route. Collection of the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday routes will occur throughout the remainder of the week until all routes have been completed.


To ensure that all neighborhoods are serviced properly, Wake Forest residents are urged to leave their normal yard waste at the curb by 7 a.m. Tuesday. As always, please avoid placing items on or near mailboxes, utility boxes, utility poles or other fixed objects.


Bulk Waste 

Bulk waste collection will resume Wednesday, May 29, and may extend into Thursday, May 30. To schedule a bulk pick-up, complete the online bulk waste pick-up request form by 2 p.m. Monday, May 27.


Residents without internet service can schedule their pick-up by calling 919-435-9570 by 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 24. Residents who call after hours may leave a voicemail message. All voicemail requests for bulk pick-up service must include the resident’s name, physical address, and telephone number, along with a description of the bulk waste items to be collected. Any service request that does not include the required information will not be processed.


Town offices will re-open Tuesday, May 28, at 8 a.m. Wake Forest Bus Service, including the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express and the Wake Forest Loop, will also resume its normal schedule on May 28.

Waste Wizard 

Wake Forest residents can stay informed about the Town’s trash, recycling, and yard waste collection programs, including changes to the normal collection schedules, by signing up for the Waste Wizard.


The Waste Wizard is an interactive tool that allows users to sign up for waste collection reminders and download collection schedules.


It also allows users to type in key words related to disposable household materials and receive valuable disposal tips. From aluminum cans and phone books to popcorn bags and plastic beverage bottles, the search tool helps residents determine which items can be recycled and which ones should be thrown away. 


As a bonus, the Waste Wizard is provided as a function on the Town of Wake Forest app.
