Carts for Garbage, Recycling, and Yard Waste

Updated: Nov 12, 2024

The City of Raleigh Solid Waste Services provides all qualifying single-family households with one complimentary yard waste cart, a recycling cart, and a garbage cart. View details below to order additional carts.

Carts are provided to encourage recycling and support efficient curbside pickup. If a home does not have existing carts, the 95-gallon roll carts can be requested when customers set up water service with the City.

If a cart is not functional, customers can contact the Customer Care Center at 919-996-3245 to request repairs or cart replacement. Please note, replacement carts may be gently used.

For residents who consistently produce more garbage than will fit in the 95-gallon cart, there are a couple of options:

To purchase an additional garbage cart, call our Customer Care Center at 919-996-3245.

There are two sizes to pick from when purchasing an additional recycling container:

Simply call our Customer Care Center at 919-996-3245 to place your order. The fee will be added to your next monthly utility bill and our crews will deliver the recycling cart to the address specified in the request.

Yes, we understand single residents or smaller families may not need the capacity of the 95 gallon cart (or maybe you're just not a big consumer, great!). To switch to a smaller cart, please call Customer Care Center at 919-996-3245.

Residents can contact the Customer Support Center at 919-996-3245 or use the online web form to initiate the cart request.

This change increases yard waste cart capacity to 190 gallons every two weeks. Customers will still have the option to place up to 15 biodegradable paper bags and up to five (5) stick bundles at the curb for collection. A second yard waste cart will require a one-time fee and an additional $2.00 per month for the yard waste service fee.
