Overview
The Cary Recycles program includes all Town of Cary solid waste customers and individually owned multi-family complexes. The Town picks up a large variety of materials at curbside weekly and was the first municipality in the state to collect computers at the curb.Everything we collect is recycled; nothing is landfilled.

The Town holds year-round workshops and special events, including the Earth Day celebration each April, to demonstrate the benefits of recycling. America Recycles Day is every Nov. 15.

In 1991 and 1992, the Town of Cary received national recognition for its Cary Recycles recycling program from "Take Pride in America," which described record breaking participation rates from Cary Citizens.

All customers who pay a monthly solid waste fee are eligible to participate in the curbside recycling program. If you need a recycling bin, call the Public Works and Utilities Department at (919) 469-4090 or pick one up at the Finance Department window in Building A of Town Hall. One bin is assigned to each home. Additional bins are available for $6. Cords and hooks can also be replaced for free by calling the Public Works and Utilities Department at (919) 469-4090.
