Durham Announces Solid Waste Collection Summer Schedule

Earlier Collection June 3 through October 4

 

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 begin collecting solid waste, yard waste, recycling, and
bulky items earlier each day this summer.  

 

Beginning Monday, June 3 through Friday, October 4, 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 will start
collections at 6 a.m. instead of 7 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 to report the missed pick-up.
