Holiday Week Alters Cary Trash Collection

Town of Cary administrative offices will be closed on Monday, December 27, 2010 in observance of Christmas and on Friday, December 31, 2010 for New Year’s Eve. Even with the possibility of severe winter weather, the Town of Cary anticipates adhering to the following schedule. During this week, garbage and recycling collection remains unchanged; however, yard waste will not be collected so that Town crews can provide collection of excess bagged garbage. Customers who follow a yellow week recycling calendar may include any excess recycling in a container for pick-up on their regular day.

During the week of January 3, 2011, garbage, recycling and yard waste will be collected as regularly scheduled. Customers who follow the blue week recycling calendar may include any excess recycling in a container for pick up on their regular day.

Citizens are reminded to please recycle the following items year-round at the curb:
• Non-foil gift wrap
• Mixed paper including greeting cards without musical recordings
• Chipboard (flat and brown when torn) and SBS board (flat and white when torn). Many gift and shirt boxes are made from either chipboard or SBS board
• Corrugated cardboard - Please remove all packaging material and flatten or cut to fit inside your cart/bin
