- How do I get a replacement garbage, recycling, or yard waste cart?
-
Call 311 or (919) 577-3111 if outside Town limits. Or, request a new cart using the Holly Springs Connect app or website!
- I am a new resident. How do I get rid of my moving boxes?
-
Break down all boxes, and place the boxes in 3'x3' square stacks beside your curb the night before your scheduled pick-up. All packing materials need to be placed in your garbage cart. You also can take flattened boxes to the Wake County Convenience Center located off Old Smithfield Road or contact GFL at (919) 662-7100 following a move to request a bulk box pick-up for a fee.
- What can and cannot be thrown in my garbage cart?
-
Only household garbage, preferably bagged, should be placed in your cart. Bagging helps keep your garbage cart clean and reduces windblown litter. Continue to place recyclables in the labeled recycle bin for collection.
