All materials except corrugated cardboard can be mixed together.

 

Recycling drop off centers can be used by residents for excess materials and by small businesses.

 

Toner and ink jet cartridges and cell phones are also collected at most recycling drop off centers.

 

With the cooperation of local property owners and several city departments, the Solid Waste Services Department provides recycling drop off centers at various locations throughout the city. These centers, which are for the use of Raleigh residents and small businesses, only accept recyclable materials. Garbage and trash may be taken to one of Wake County's Convenience Centers. Yard waste may be taken to the city's Yard Waste Center.

Businesses, church, group, or property owners interested in hosting a drop off center may contact Raleigh Raleigh at 919-996-6890 to discuss hosting options.

Aluminum cans and plastic bottles (except motor oil and pesticide bottles) are banned from disposal in all NC landfills. Corrugated cardboard is subject to Wake County fines if disposed of in the Wake County landfill. Please Recycle!

Do not leave any garbage, trash or yard waste at the Drop off Centers
These items can potentially contaminate the recyclable materials. Additionally the disposal of unauthorized items adds considerable expense to the program and puts the recycling drop off center at risk of being dropped from the program.
