Yard Waste Cart Collection

Beginning in March 2024

Yard waste cartWe’re Keeping it Green in Holly Springs with a new way of collecting yard waste. New brown yard waste carts will be delivered to residents. Beginning in March, fill the cart with lawn clippings, leaves, and other types of yard waste, and place the cart behind the curb on the same day as recycling collection.

FAQs

The benefits of using carts for yard waste collection include: 

  • More efficient collection. 
  • Cleaner waterways for a better environment. Cart collection keeps debris out of storm drains that empty into local creeks, streams, and waterways. 
  • Prevents flooding that can occur when yard waste clogs stormwater drains. 
  • Less pollen and dust in the spring. The fine particles can’t be contained in vacuum trucks. 

The biweekly cart collection will continue to run throughout the year – even next fall. In addition to a guaranteed biweekly collection of yard waste from carts, any leaves that don't fit in your cart can be left behind the curb for collection on a zone schedule, just like this year.  

Residents who want to order additional yard waste carts, or decline a cart, can complete an online form before Dec. 15. Yard waste is part of the monthly Town utility bill. The charge will not be waived, even if a cart is declined. Additional fees will be incurred for each additional cart as requested by the resident and added to their monthly utility bill. After Dec. 15, requests to order an additional yard waste cart or to decline a cart should be made by calling 311 or (919) 577-3111 if outside Town limits.
