Yard Waste Collection
Yard Waste collection is performed by the Town of Apex Public Works & Transportation Department personnel for residential customers.
Collection occurs weekly on the business day following garbage and recycling collection. On occasion, weekly collection is not possible, due to these reasons:
- Inclement weather (this includes periods of heavy rain)
- Holidays (yard waste collection workers are town employees, and get 11 paid holidays)
- High Demand (especially from October - December during peak leaf season)
Missed Collection
Report missed collection to our customer service team one of two ways:
- Complete an online service request form.
- Call Customer Service at (919) 362-8676

Composting
