    How it works

    Three county drop-off sites for recyclables: North Wake (9029 Deponie Drive, Raleigh 27614), South Wake (6130 Old Smithfield Road, Apex 27539), both Monday-Saturday 8 a.m.-4 p.m., and East Wake (5051 Wendell Boulevard, Wendell 27591), weekends only. The Census geocoder places 9029 Deponie Drive in unincorporated Neuse township, outside Raleigh city limits, and could not match the Old Smithfield Road address.
