Icy road conditions in the wake of Winter Storm Fern forced Republic Services to collect this week’s trash and recycling routes one day later than normal with plans to collect Thursday’s routes on Friday and Friday’s routes on Saturday.
However, in response to the Winter Storm Watch in effect for central NC from Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon and the significant snowfall expected on Saturday, Republic Services has announced that it must alter those plans.
To ensure all Wake Forest customers receive trash collection service this week, Republic Services now plans to collect both the Thursday and Friday trash routes on Friday, Jan. 30. As a result, Wake Forest residents whose trash collection service day is Thursday or Friday are urged to place their rollout trash cart at the curb before 7 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 30.
Weather permitting, Republic Services will collect the Thursday and Friday recycling routes on Saturday, Jan. 31. Wake Forest residents whose recycling collection service day is Thursday or Friday are urged to place their rollout recycling cart at the curb before 7 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31.
