1. Collection of Moving Boxes

The Town will make a one time pick-up of boxes at no charge for new residents. You must break down all boxes. Call Customer Service at (919) 362-8676 to schedule a pick-up date. The night before your scheduled date, place the broken-down boxes curbside. All packing materials should be placed in your recycling bin or cart.

Only household trash should be thrown in your trash cart, preferably bagged. Bagging helps keep your cart clean and reduces wind blown litter.

You should place recyclables in the labeled recycle bin for collection. More Info
