1. How do I get a blue recycling cart?

Call 919-968-2788 or email recycling to get on our delivery list. Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. 

Email our office if your cart is missing or it needs a repair.  Cart replacement costs $60, however there is no charge for a one time replacement if the loss or damage is through no fault of the household. If resident would like to lease an additional cart they may do so for an annual fee of $60.

2. How do I get orange recycling bins?

If you prefer smaller 18-gallon orange bins for your curbside collection, request a delivery, or residents can pick them up Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Solid Waste Management Department Administration office:
1207 Eubanks Road,
Chapel Hill NC 27516.
(just west of the Orange County Landfill).

Each household can receive two bins at no charge. Replacement bins for lost or damaged bins are available at no cost. Additional bins may be purchased for $7 from our office. You may use any other rigid plastic container similar in size and shape to the curbside recycling bin such as a laundry basket or a milk crate.
