Trash pickups change for New Year’s. Here are schedules in Triangle towns
Local governments in the Triangle will be closed Monday to observe the New Year’s holiday on Jan. 1.
That means your normally scheduled trash and recycling pickup could be changed — most likely, delayed — next week.
Here are the schedules in cities and counties around the Triangle, and when you can expect to have your trash and recycling picked up.
