City collection Appliances are named on the town's bulk waste list, so they leave on the regular Friday bulk route rather than in the cart. No charge. Appliance collection rides the town's bulk waste service, which carries no separate charge because it is funded by the monthly solid waste fee that itemizes a bulky waste collection component. Appliances are named among the bulk items the town collects.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Zebulon collects its own routes through a contract with Green For Life. Trash goes out every Friday and recycling every other Friday, carts sit at the curb the night before, trash has to be bagged inside the cart while recycling has to stay loose, and a missed collection is fixed by leaving the cart out and calling Public Works by Monday at noon. Bulk waste is the town's oversized route: it runs every Friday except holidays with the pile out on Thursday night, needs no appointment, and takes large furniture, mattresses, carpet, appliances, lawn mowers and grills with the oil and gas removed, while the items that cannot go in a landfill, including electronics, batteries, hazardous waste, paint, tires and construction debris, are refused and sent to the Wake County convenience center on Wendell Boulevard. Yard waste and leaves are collected separately from the carts, with yard waste laid loosely behind the curb and never bagged and leaves in their own pile the same week, and the whole service is billed at a published monthly fee that itemizes trash, recycling, bulk waste and yard waste separately.
Trash is collected every Friday and recycling every other Friday under the town's contract with Green For Life, and the monthly solid waste fee covers one cart of each.
City cost & eligibility
$24.75 per month for the residential solid waste service, itemized by the town as trash collection, recycling collection, a City of Raleigh billing fee, bulky waste collection and a yard waste fee, covering one 96 gallon trash cart collected weekly and one 96 gallon recycling cart collected every other week. A Town of Zebulon residential account with the town's two carts. Residents are responsible for keeping the carts clean, and a missing or damaged cart is replaced through Public Works.
When & how
Trash every Friday and recycling every other Friday, with the carts at the curb the night before collection. If a holiday affects the hauler's schedule the waste carts are collected on Saturday, and the hauler follows its own holiday schedule and may collect on town observed holidays.
Get it ready
Bag all trash before it goes in the cart because town ordinance prohibits loose trash that flies out when the cart is emptied, keep recyclables loose because bags damage the sorting machinery, keep yard waste, tires, construction debris, automobile fluids, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, lighter fluid and kerosene, paints, lacquers, polishes, pesticides and herbicides out of the trash cart, and keep batteries, electronics, styrofoam, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, pizza boxes, plastic bags, food and shredded paper out of the recycling cart.
Bulk waste runs every Friday except holidays for items too large for the cart, with the pile out on Thursday night and no appointment required.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk waste collection carries no separate charge because it is part of the town's residential solid waste service, which the town bills at a monthly solid waste fee that itemizes a bulky waste collection component alongside the trash, recycling, billing and yard waste amounts. The service is for items that can be placed in the landfill but are too large for the cart.
When & how
Put the bulk waste at the curb on Thursday night for the Friday collection, which runs every Friday except the holidays circled on the town calendar. No appointment is required, and Public Works will pass a heads up to the driver if the resident calls 919-269-5285.
Get it ready
Keep the load to items the landfill will accept, remove oil and gas from a lawn mower or grill before it goes out, keep cardboard, glass, liquids, electronics, hazardous waste, paint, tires and construction debris out of the pile entirely, and use the Wake County convenience center on Wendell Boulevard for anything that cannot be placed in the landfill.
Appliances are named on the town's bulk waste list, so they leave on the regular Friday bulk route rather than in the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliance collection rides the town's bulk waste service, which carries no separate charge because it is funded by the monthly solid waste fee that itemizes a bulky waste collection component. Appliances are named among the bulk items the town collects.
When & how
Set the appliance at the curb on Thursday night for the Friday bulk collection, and call 919-269-5285 if you want the driver told to look for it.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, keep liquids and anything that cannot be landfilled out of the pile, remove oil and gas from a mower or grill before it goes out, and ask Public Works whether a unit that holds refrigerant needs anything done before collection, because the town publishes no refrigerant rule of its own.
Yard waste and leaves are collected biweekly by zone, laid loosely behind the curb, and yard waste is never bagged.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Yard waste and leaves carry no separate charge because the town collects them under the residential solid waste service, whose monthly fee itemizes a yard waste component alongside the trash, recycling, billing and bulky waste amounts. Public Works collects yard waste and leaves biweekly from residential properties, with the town divided into two zones serviced every other week, and material that breaks the published preparation rules is not collected.
When & how
Public Works collects yard waste and leaves biweekly, with the town divided into two zones serviced every other week, so a household sets the material on the right of way behind the curb by the Sunday night before its zone's collection week and checks the 2026 yard waste calendar and map for the exact weeks. Yard waste rides separately from the trash and recycling carts, and leaves are collected in the same weeks in their own pile.
Get it ready
Keep yard waste to twigs and limbs, hedge clippings, grass, hay and pine straw, pinecones, small logs and bushes, place it loosely behind the curb away from parked cars, trees, shrubs, mailboxes, utility boxes and power lines, never bag it, keep animal waste, trash, mulch bags, plastic trays, building materials, fences, poles, dirt, rocks and potted plants out of the pile, and put leaves in a separate pile behind the curb rather than in the street or gutter with sticks, rocks, pinecones and limbs removed so the town's vacuum equipment is not damaged.
Trash and recycling carts sit at the curb the night before the collection day, trash is bagged inside the cart while recyclables stay loose because bags damage the sorting machinery, and each residence should have a black or dark gray trash cart and a dark or bright green recycling cart. A missed collection is handled by leaving the cart at the curb and calling Public Works on (919) 269-5285 by Monday at noon, with voicemail answered over the weekend, and a missing or damaged cart is replaced through Public Works.
Bulk waste is collected every Friday except the holidays circled on the town calendar, with the pile at the curb on Thursday night. No appointment is needed, and the town is glad to give the driver a heads up to look for the items if the resident calls 919-269-5285.
The town cannot collect anything that cannot be placed in the landfill, so electronics, batteries, hazardous waste, paint, tires and construction debris stay off the pile and out of both carts. Wake County residents may dispose of or recycle those items at no additional charge at the county convenience center at 5051 Wendell Boulevard, and the county's solid waste management page carries the hours and the accepted material.
Yard waste is never bagged and never goes in the trash cart: it is laid loosely behind the curb away from parked cars, trees, shrubs, mailboxes, utility boxes and power lines. Leaves are collected in the same week in a separate pile behind the curb rather than in the street or gutter, and the pile has to be free of sticks, rocks, pinecones and limbs because those damage the town's vacuum equipment.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

Does a trash holiday delay bulk pickup too?+
Not necessarily. Zebulon's bulk-waste service and GFL cart service follow separate holiday schedules, so check both calendars and the latest town notice.Official guidance
When is trash collected in Zebulon?+
Trash is collected every Friday and recycling every other Friday, and the carts go to the curb the night before. If a holiday affects the schedule the waste carts are collected on Saturday, and the town notes that the hauler follows its own holiday schedule and may collect on town observed holidays. If a collection is missed, leave the cart at the curb and call Public Works on (919) 269-5285 by Monday at noon, because voicemail is answered over the weekend.Official guidance
What can go out on Zebulon bulk waste day?+
Bulk waste collection takes items that can go in the landfill but are too large for the trash cart, including large furniture, mattresses, carpet, appliances, lawn mowers and grills, with oil and gas removed. It runs every Friday except holidays with the pile at the curb on Thursday night, and no appointment is required, though Public Works is happy to alert the driver if you call 919-269-5285. Cardboard, glass, liquids, electronics, hazardous waste, paint, tires and construction debris are all refused and go to the Wake County convenience center instead.Official guidance
How does an appliance leave a Zebulon address?+
On the bulk waste route, because the town names appliances among the items too large for the trash cart that it collects every Friday except holidays with the pile out on Thursday night. There is no separate charge for the service, which is funded by the monthly solid waste fee and its itemized bulky waste component. Empty the unit and secure its doors first, and ask Public Works on 919-269-5285 whether a unit that holds refrigerant needs the refrigerant removed before it is set out, since the town publishes no refrigerant rule.Official guidance
How is yard waste collected in Zebulon?+
Public Works collects yard waste and leaves biweekly, with the town divided into two zones serviced every other week, so the material goes on the right of way behind the curb by the Sunday night before the zone's collection week and the 2026 yard waste calendar and map give the exact weeks. Yard waste is collected separately from the trash and recycling carts and it goes loosely behind the curb, never in bags, away from parked cars, trees, shrubs, mailboxes, utility boxes and power lines. Twigs and limbs, hedge clippings, grass, hay and pine straw, pinecones, small logs and bushes all count as yard waste, while animal waste, trash, mulch bags, plastic trays, building materials, fences, poles, dirt, rocks and potted plants do not. Leaves are collected in the same weeks in their own pile behind the curb, free of sticks, rocks, pinecones and limbs, and the monthly solid waste fee includes a yard waste component rather than a separate collection charge.Official guidance

Bulk waste and yard waste carry no separate invoice because they are inside that fee. The items the town refuses, including electronics, batteries, hazardous waste, paint, tires and construction debris, may be taken by county residents to the Wake County convenience center at no additional charge.Official guidance
What will not be collected in Zebulon?+
The trash cart refuses yard waste, tires, construction debris, automobile fluids, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, lighter fluid and kerosene, paints, lacquers and polishes, and pesticides or herbicides, while the recycling cart refuses batteries, electronics, styrofoam, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, pizza boxes, plastic bags, food and shredded paper.
