Residents of Wake Forest, take note that your Martin Luther King Jr. Day will see a mixed bag of municipal service schedules. As reported by the town's official announcement, Wake Forest Town Hall, located at 301 S. Brooks St., along with other administrative offices, will be closed on Monday, January 20, in honor of the holiday. However, folks can breathe easy knowing that their trash and recycling pick-up won't skip a beat as it's unaffected by the commemoration.
But before you start dragging your yard waste to the curb, you should know that yard waste collection is putting on the brakes for the day, although it's slated to crank back up again first thing Tuesday, January 21 morning - the crews will dive into Monday's routes and keep churning away at the rest of the week's collection duties until they've checked off every last one. The Wake Forest-Raleigh Express (WRX) bus service, on the other hand, is simultaneously hitting pause, not to leave those relying on it stranded but to resume its comings and goings on Tuesday, January 21, according to the town's announcement.
For those with a pile-up of bulk items that need disposing of, Mark this in your calendars - bulk pickups are being penciled in for Tuesday, January 21. To make sure your unwanted bulky belongings are part of that haul, you can either zip through an online request form by 2 p.m. on the preceding Friday or call 919-435-9570 if the internet isn’t your cup of tea, just be sure to do it before the same deadline – and don't forget to leave your name, address, phone number, and a brief rundown of what you're tossing, or they might just leave your bulk waste sitting on the curb.
For all the gritty details and to avoid getting caught unaware, whether it's about bulk waste or any other collection question, head over to the town’s website, as the good folks at Wake Forest have laid it all out for easy access—no more hunting through endless pages for what you need. They encourage residents to take advantage of the online resources at wakeforestnc.gov, especially by using the handy 'bulk pickup' search function to get straight to the good stuff, according to their release.
