Disposal Facilities
Wake County's South Wake Sanitary Landfill is the drop-off spot for rocks, building materials and many other items that cannot be collected as part of regular weekly curbside garbage or yard waste collection services by City of Raleigh crews. There is no charge to Wake County residents provided that the materials are taken in a non-commercial, single axle vehicle. A multi-material drop-off facility is located at the South Wake Landfill to accept used oil, tires, white goods (appliances), computers and electronic equipment, telephone books and many other items for recycling.

*** The average office worker uses the paper equivalent of an entire tree every year! Making paper from recycled materials requires 60% less energy than making paper from virgin tree stock, so finding ways to substitute recycled materials for virgin tree stock makes a lot of sense. ***
