Apex, NC Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Apex Town Code § 12-125(d) covers large-item collection: appliances, hot water heaters, furniture and other bulk items are picked up curbside based on the current fee schedule and curbside trash collection policy. The same section (§ 12-125(a)-(c)) requires all garbage cans to sit at the front of the property, out no earlier than 5:00 a.m. and removed by 7:00 p.m., with nothing left curbside on Sunday, and all pickups are curbside only. A separate provision, § 12-126, handles scrap building materials, leaves, grass clippings and tree limbs under eight feet, which are collected on their own schedule rather than as bulk items. Violating § 12-125 is a misdemeanor under G.S. 14-4.
