Common questions
Questions residents ask.
Why does my Raleigh address show no collection day?
Raleigh runs city collection for most homes, and we tell you when yours is not one of them. Apartments, commercial sites and some streets are served by a private hauler under contract instead, and for those the day comes from your hauler rather than the city — we say so rather than showing a day that is not yours.
