Durham's Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Schedule Changes for
Summer

Earlier Collection Starts June 4 through October 1

 

DURHAM, N.C. - To help employees who work outside all day avoid the risk
of heat-related illness and injury, the City's Solid Waste Management
Department will soon begin collecting solid waste, yard waste,
recycling, and bulky items earlier each day.  

 

Starting June 4 through October 1, the department is asking residents to
place their carts and bulky items on the curb the night before their
normal pick-up day since work crews may start collections as early as 6
a.m. 

 

Solid waste collectors will make every effort to complete their regular
routes each day. However, during times of extreme temperatures, it may
not be possible. If a pick-up is missed on a regular collection day,
residents should leave their carts at the curb and contact Durham One
Call at (919) 560-1200 or online at 
http://DurhamNC.gov/Pages/doc_online_form.aspx to report the missed
pick-up.
