Cary, NC -- Cary is going green this fall by providing solid waste collection schedules, including loose leaf pickup, via Cary Collects, its new web and mobile app. This tool is a convenient option to get your loose leaf schedule and recycling calendars as well as comprehensive information on solid waste services and disposal guidelines. Cary Collects allows users to set reminders and notifications for their collection days, helping ensure  residents never miss a pickup. 

Citizens who prefer a printed and mailed recycling calendar may request one by calling (919) 469-4090.  

“Cary Collects will offer our customers an improved level of service by placing so much information at their fingertips. We are making it easier than ever to find your collection days, keep up with changing schedules, and stay current with ever-changing recycling materials,” said Public Works Director Scott Hecht. “And by reducing paper calendars, we are also supporting our commitment to environmental stewardship.”
