You could have one person help direct people for the rare instance that they do not know where to put trash. It's about time Wake county starting saving money instead of wasting it.

Listen up y'all, today I had the very great privilege to deal with an amazing business owner who…read morecares deeply about his company and customer service. I can't even begin to tell you how joyful it was. Nowadays, everyone seems to be working on a very short fuse and finding anyone that is kind and patient is getting harder and harder. Dennis was just such a person. I am getting ready to move to Burlington (cue sad music now) and as I am slowly going insane with packing, I am finding more & more broken electronics that honestly have me wondering if I need to contact that TV show Hoarders. For real. I have a 42" TV, a 20" monitor, 2 computer keyboards, an old wifi router, a broken wii, a broken Hello Kitty alarm clock (don't diss the Kitty!) and an entire shopping bag filled with various plugs and cords. I wanted to take this to a recycling center myself however I have a fondness for compact cars & the TV just wouldn't fit. I didn't want to just dump the TV because I care about where I live & I know that TVs have a lot of toxic parts to them. I went online to get some advice (thank you Nextdoor) and was told about Anything with a Plug. I went online to visit their site & wow. It was SUPER easy to make the appointment & to prepay online with zero issue. They have a form to fill out but only if you need to declare what you are recycling. I found this out after I'd filled it all in. No worries, had a laugh with Dennis about it. I made the appointment via a phone call & all of this, chatting with a caring business owner, paying online, and the truckload of junk....all of this is costing me the low cost of $40. Yep. You heard me right. Dennis is coming by to pick all of this stuff up from my home....for $40. Y'all...if you have ever read any of my reviews you know that I will jump up and down trying to get anyone to listen & use a good local service. Well....here I am, got my jumpin' shoes on. If you have ANY electronics that need to go to recycling, why not take them to Dennis. Or, if you are like me, and hail to the compact car, give him a call! Give him your business! This is one of the good guys.

I've been using CompostNow for about half a year now, and I have to say I love it! The folks at CN…read moremake it so easy to do good for the community and your bodies. Ever since I started composting, I've started eating healthier (more fruits and veggies) because I like seeing my bin full every week! The system is also very well thought out. Since this is a service is usually geared towards apartment/small home dwellers, they have the option of donating your soil to a local community garden which is was I selected. At $25 a month, I cannot complain about such a great and thorough service! Also it is easy to change it up if you decide you want to keep your soil one month, and even easier if you are moving and need to change your service address. I definitely recommend CN--the great people who started it should be proud of such a successful community oriented model.

Easiest way to get apartment dwellers or lazy people (like me) to compost!…read more Here's how it works: they drop a 5-gallon lined bucket on your doorstep. You put your food waste (and paper waste) in there, instead of the trash. You put it on your porch the next week, and they replace it with a new bin. Once you've earned some soil, you get that in return for your efforts. Which, frankly, are laughably minimal. The lid takes some finesse and getting used to, but it's easy once you have the hang of it. CompostNow works with a large-scale family-run composting facility here in NC, so you can compost a whole slew of things you couldn't do in a home bin/heap (meat, oils, bones, dairy, citrus peels, "compostable" cups and forks, etc.). Between food and candy-making, we've diverted 1-2 bags of trash a week for a 3-person household. $25/month for weekly pick-up. You can request an additional bin if you have more waste than a single bin's worth. The folks who run it are friendly, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. What more reason do you need? Maybe this: the EPA estimates that 27% of all solid waste could be composted. Almost a third less junk going into your local landfill. If you recycle, that's even more junk being diverted. Easy choice.

Quite convenient to have a service like this, although it'd be nice if the town of Cary would just pick up my extra recycling that doesn't fit in my bin instead of making me drive to this convenience center... anyway. Overall, no complaints!

And once you've accomplished that, there's something even more satisfying in recycling the things in which it was packed. Cary's recycling center will take nearly everything: cardboard, books, glass, plastic, tin, aluminum, pots, pans, even furniture and yard waste, but not plastic bags. There are a few restrictions though, so check the city's website to be sure. Offloading an old computer, or any other electronics, will cost you a few dollars, but otherwise, there is no fee. As I enter the gate, a friendly employee will stop and ask what I'm dropping off, then direct me to the appropriate bins. Sometimes, late in the afternoon, it's difficult to find a spot in any of the three or so containers for cardboard boxes, but at least I know there are others making use of this resource. It may sound odd for an outdoor recycling center, but this location is kept pretty clean by both the City and the residents who drop things off which makes it even easier to keep coming back.

I took another tour of the South Wake Landfill and highly recommend touring the facility. This time…read moreI got to see the seagulls that were migrating from the Great Lakes. They spend the day at the landfill and nights at Jordan Lake. Bald Eagles were traveling from Jordan Lake with them. The landfill is an amazing place that keeps us healthy from diseases while doing what it can to protect the environment. A lot of thought and technology goes into it. The landfill has a liner system; the groundwater is monitored; the gas is being monitored by the current flare system and will soon be reused. Dominion Energy is building a site to use the methane gas released to provide renewable energy. Then there is a system for the leachate to remove the bad stuff and dehydrate it and filter the water. Besides the landfill, it is also a convenience center, multi-material recycling facility and also a household hazardous waste facility. This landfill handles the waste for over 1.1 million people in Wake County. The landfill is expected to be full by 2040 and there is no future facility set up yet. But a big problem is 65% of the material is the landfill could have been composted or recycled. So if we were doing more the landfill would not be filling so fast.
