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.

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.

Unfortunately, hazardous materials were only accepted on weekends so this wasn't entirely convenient during a move. The signage is easy for the most part and the area is very well maintained and quite large. The staff aren't very helpful or friendly, at least not when I visited. Thankfully I had my friend with me to help out. This location was exactly what I needed to get rid of undonatable items.

You have to show ID to prove that you are a resident and it's FREE! The first time you come, it's a little confusing where you have to go to dispose of your items, but the staff will let you know if you're throwing things in the wrong bin and will direct you to where you need to go.
