Cary, NC trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Thursday.

Thursday is what one Cary address returned on October 26, 2026.

Carts go out no earlier than dusk the evening before your collection day.

Set the cart at the curb with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street so the truck's automated arm can grip it.

The cart may go out no earlier than dusk the night before, and must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day.

Line the cart up so the arrows moulded into the lid point toward the street.

Keep the cart out of the roadway and clear of light poles, mailboxes and fire hydrants, and leave room between the carts and the yard waste.
